Researchers showed that an ultrathin, nanolayered boron nitride interlayer can improve the stability of perovskite quantum dot LEDs by passivating defects, suppressing ion migration, and enhancing heat dissipation. BN-optimized devices achieved an average peak EQE of 30.05% and a measured T50 lifetime of 102 hours at 2,000 cd m-2, with accelerated testing projecting a T50 of 25,263 hours at 100 cd m-2.
PI introduces the P-606.1P piezoelectric micro gripper, a compact, high-stiffness gripping solution designed for handling micro-optics and FAUs in photonics alignment, assembly, probing, and inspection applications.
A review published in Advanced Materials examines the emerging field of smelltronics, which combines advanced sensing materials, engineered interfaces, sensor arrays, and computational methods to detect and distinguish information-rich volatile organic compounds. The authors highlight how molecular recognition, device integration, machine learning, and improved sensor stability could help translate digital odor sensing into applications spanning healthcare, food monitoring, environmental sensing, and security.
Researchers developed a solid-phase-synthesized nanoMIP sensor integrated with surface plasmon resonance for rapid, label-free detection of bisphenol A in water. The platform detected BPA across 5 to 800 nM with a 1.46 nM detection limit and was validated using LC-MS and commercial drinking-water samples.
Researchers developed a multilayer MCOF@Au@PEI nanomaterial that captures bacteria, converts near-infrared light into heat, and can be magnetically recovered and reused after treatment. In laboratory tests, the material achieved complete plate-count sterilization of E. coli, S. aureus, and S. typhimurium in experimentally contaminated milk and drinking water within 435 seconds, while also disrupting established biofilms.
PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning technology, offers the P-733 XYZ piezo nanopositioning stage, delivering 0.1 nm (1 Å) positioning resolution for demanding applications in super-resolution microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface nanometrology, and advanced imaging.
PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning, offers high-force piezo actuators for applications requiring fast, nanometer-scale motion while maintaining an unobstructed central opening.
Nanoglasses use nanoscale glass grains and distinct glass-glass interfaces to introduce controllable structural, chemical, and thermodynamic heterogeneity into amorphous materials. The perspective highlights columnar thin-film nanoglasses as a promising platform for tuning mechanical properties, atomic transport, magnetism, optics, and catalysis through interface engineering.
What if scientists could get a taste of discovery as soon as their experiment finishes- Thanks to a new machine learning tool called DONUT, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are transforming how experiments are run at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), a DOE Office of Science user facility.
Researchers 3D-nanoprinted hollow-core Photonic Scaffolds with up to 80% cladding openness, with models predicting attenuation at or below 1 dB/mm at that openness and experiments measuring sub-1 dB/mm losses at 68% openness. The waveguides supported dye diffusion in about 34 seconds, a 1.4 nL effective interaction volume, and quantum-dot emission with output photon statistics consistent with single-photon emission after transmission.
