Researchers introduced TFM-IR, an ambient-condition infrared microscopy method that uses torsional cantilever dynamics and nonlinear frequency mixing to map in-plane and out-of-plane photothermal responses at the nanoscale. The technique resolved anisotropic strain in mica nanobubbles and achieved near-nanometer optical imaging in twisted bilayer graphene, enabling site-resolved spectroscopy within individual moiré cells.

A new study finds that nanomaterial-based batteries could help Italy store more renewable energy by improving energy density, charging speed, cycle life, and safety. However, high costs, weak coordination, regulatory delays, and low stakeholder awareness are slowing the shift from laboratory research to market deployment.

Vistec Electron Beam GmbH, a global leader in electron-beam (e-beam) lithography systems, will present its latest advancements in e-beam technology at the 41st European Mask and Lithography Conference (EMLC 2026), taking place June 22-24, 2026, at the Volkshaus in Jena, Germany.
"We didn't have modulators," Toni Taylor, a Los Alamos National Laboratory Fellow and physicist, says matter-of-factly, recalling work she began nearly two decades ago at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) in Los Alamos. Modulators are the devices that allow scientists to control light-shaping its amplitude, phase, or frequency so it can carry information.
PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning technologies, announces the H-850.
A review in Advanced Sustainable Systems examines how metalloproteins, ferritins, virus-like particles, and de novo designed protein cages could help trap, transform, and immobilize toxic metals and metalloids. The paper highlights protein engineering, synthetic biology, and AI-guided design as promising routes toward more selective, reusable, and sustainable bioremediation systems.

PEI-functionalized magnetic carbon nanoparticles achieved 98.33% water removal from water-in-heavy oil emulsions within 60 minutes under optimized laboratory conditions. The material combined magnetic recoverability, carbon-based stability, and amine-rich surface chemistry to disrupt bitumen-stabilized interfacial films and promote droplet coalescence.

Researchers showed that narrowing the monolayer TMD nanoribbon transistor channel to about 35 nm increased the median on-current density by ~42% and reduced the subthreshold swing by ~16%. The gains were linked to preserved edge quality, stronger gate electrostatics, and improved side-contact injection, positioning 2D nanoribbons as promising candidates for future ultra-scaled chip architectures.

Park Systems Corp., a global leader in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanometrology, today announced the successful completion of a KRW 100 billion (approximately USD 72 million) strategic financing through the issuance of perpetual bonds with warrants, with Kiwoom Securities and Dominus Investment Management each subscribing KRW 50 billion.
Researchers developed a frequency-comb-referenced terahertz Fabry-Pérot interferometry platform that measures lithium-ion battery electrode thickness with nanometer-scale precision. The method also estimates complex refractive index and supports 3D profiling and dynamic monitoring, offering a path toward more precise, non-destructive battery manufacturing quality control.
