Nanoengineers are working on a COVID-19 vaccine using an unconventional candidate: a plant virus. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a high-performance and zero-standby-power-consumption flexible pressure sensor with ultrahigh sensitivity in wide linear response range. • Email to a friend • Researchers have reported a significant step forward in growing monoisotopic hexagonal boron nitride at atmospheric pressure for the production of large and very high-quality crystals. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a new hybrid material of mesoporous silicon microparticles and carbon nanotubes that can improve the performance of silicon in Li-ion batteries. Advances in battery technology are essential for sustainable development and for achieving climate neutrality. • Email to a friend • Researchers have proposed the design of a new carbon nanostructure made from diamond nanothreads that could one day be used for mechanical energy storage, wearable technologies, and biomedical applications. • Email to a friend • Scientists come closer to unraveling the physics of quasiparticles in carbon nanotubes. • Email to a friend • A team of researchers has succeeded in developing a novel sensor for detecting the new coronavirus. In future it could be used to measure the concentration of the virus in the environment -- for example in places where there are many people or in hospital ventilation systems. • Email to a friend • Siloxanes - a class of manufactured silicone derivatives, also know as silicones - are widely used (with an annual volume of 2.8 million tonnes in 2018) in medicine and industrial applications, mostly though in cosmetics and personal care products. However, siloxanes can also be organic contaminants that are persistent and prone to bio accumulation, making it challenging to remove them from various environmental media. Developing suitable sorbents is a cost-effective solution for the removal of siloxanes and Machine Learning offers a powerful tool to identify the effective zeolites out of many millions. • Email to a friend • Rapidly cooling magnon particles proves a surprisingly effective way to create an elusive quantum state of matter, called a Bose-Einstein condensate. The discovery can help advance quantum physics research and is a step towards the long-term goal of quantum computing at room temperature. • Email to a friend • |
