Photonic Chip for Achieving Superresolution Light Microscopy

A photonic chip that enables superresolution light microscopy—or ‘nanoscopy’—to be achieved by using traditional microscopes has been developed by physicists at Bielefeld University and The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø. In the case of nanoscopy, single fluorescent molecules’ position can be ascertained at an accuracy of a few nanometres—or one-millionth of a millimetre.

DNA Self-Assembly Allows Control of the Optical Properties of Plasmonic Metamolecules

Plasmonic nanoparticles reveal properties based on their geometries and relative positions. Now, researchers have developed a simple way to control the optical properties of plasmonic nanostructures that strongly rely on their spatial arrangement.

Graphene Could Help Make Desalination More Productive When Used in Filtration Membranes

A single sheet of graphene, comprising an atom-thin lattice of carbon, may appear to be rather delicate. MIT engineers, however, have discovered that the ultrathin material is remarkably sturdy and remains intact under applied pressures of at least 100 bars. This is equivalent to almost 20 times the pressure generated by a typical kitchen faucet.

Secret Behind Formation of Hollowed Nanoparticles During Metal Oxidation Revealed

Rust is a sign of neglect. Rust undermines the tools and structures that are used on a daily basis, from cars to buildings and bridges. However, if carefully controlled, the same process that causes rust – metal oxidation – could provide researchers ways to progress advanced drug delivery technologies or battery technologies.

Unique Carbon Nanotube Structure Strengthens Thin Films for Use in Flexible Electronics

A team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have synthesized thin carbon nanotube (CNT) textiles that display both high electrical conductivity and a level of toughness that is approximately fifty times higher than copper films, presently employed in electronics. They drew inspiration from the structure of composites found in the ancient world and nature.
