Physicists have proposed a thermometer based on quantum entanglement that can accurately measure temperatures a billion times colder than those in outer space.
Scientists propose a new method to confine light in an atomically thin graphene layer by leveraging topological phenomena that occur at the interface of specially designed nanomaterials.
Researchers used an ultrathin graphene 'sandwich' to create a tiny magnetic field sensor that can operate over a greater temperature range than previous sensors, while also detecting miniscule changes in magnetic fields that might otherwise get lost within a larger magnetic background.
Researchers discovered a way to bind and stack nanoscale clusters of copper molecules that can self-assemble and mimic these complex biosystem structures at different length scales. The clusters provide a platform for developing new catalytic properties that extend beyond what traditional materials can offer.
There are many things quantum dots could do, but the most obvious place they could change our lives is to make the colours on our TVs and screens more pristine.
Researchers summarize the recent progress in the application of rare earth-doped nanoparticles in the field of bio-imaging and tumor treatment and discuss the luminescent mechanism, properties, and structure design.
