Graphene Flagship has created a new graphene-titania photocatalyst that is capable of degrading around 70% more atmospheric nitrogen oxides (NOx) when compared to regular titania nanoparticles.
Researchers from the ICN2 Theoretical and Computational Nanoscience Group as well as the Université catholique de Louvain have used numerical simulations to show that spin diffusion length is independent of grain size.
A scanning electrochemical cell imaging technique shows how nanoscale structural features affect the catalytic activity of MoS2 monolayers for hydrogen evolution reactions, report researchers at Kanazawa University in Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
Achieving further reductions in the size of electronic components requires new materials. This would help make devices such as smartphones and laptops faster and more efficient. Minuscule nanostructures of the novel material graphene show potential in this respect.
Physicists from the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics (CINAP), of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS, South Korea), have unraveled a fascinating phenomenon called carrier multiplication (CM) in a group of semiconductors with remarkable thinness, excellent properties, and potential applications in optics and electronics.
Analytik reports on ground-breaking work by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Sheffield using a LV-1 Microfluidizer to create novel oil-in-water Nano emulsions that were subsequently occluded within a calcite crystalline lattice.
Perovskite nanocrystals show potential for enhancing a broad range of optoelectronic devices, from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to lasers. However, these materials are not extensively used at the commercial level because of their durability problems.
Graphenea announces the launch of a new product – highly flat monolayer graphene. The graphene is grown by CVD on copper thin film on a 2” sapphire substrate.
Some exciting information for carbon nanotube fans: Scientists at Rice and Swansea universities have formulated a method to utilize low-cost newsprint extracted from newspapers to grow nanotubes for the industry.
Coxem is pleased to announce the introduction of the newest member of the EM-30 family of tabletop microscopes, the EM-30N. Building on the success of the original EM-30, the EM-30N features completely re-designed imaging electronics for improved resolution with less noise at high magnification and introduces our new Panorama mode for wide area scanning.

Asynt has developed a novel high-pressure reactor array that integrates directly with their Integrity 10 Reaction Station, enabling scientists to undertake up to 10 independently pressurised reactions (up to 100 barg) in parallel.
Quasicrystals are one of the most peculiar structures in nature. Owing to their characteristics that make them crystal-like yet very distinct, they have been attracting the attention of scientists ever since they were first observed.
The development of new and advanced components of two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, necessitates tools to characterize their quality.
The semiconductor sector has grown for over 40 years by using Moore’s law. As the size of transistors reduces to one-tenth of the nanometer scale, the quantum effects begin to dominate and lead to issues like heat generation and operation stability.
