Researchers have developed an imaging method that provides an unprecedented look at a molecule as it spins and rolls through liquid, providing the most comprehensive picture yet of molecular dynamics collected using optical microscopes.
Using artificial intelligence to analyse vast amounts of data in atomic-scale images, researchers answered long-standing questions about an emerging type of rechargeable battery posing competition to lithium-ion chemistry.
Researchers have developed optical nanoantennas that can be turned on/off and gradually tuned by applying electrical potentials. The study opens for applications including dynamic flat metaoptics and tuneable smart materials.
Researchers have used molecular modelling methods to investigate the movement of nano-sized plastics in membrane structures. The results indicate that for some microplastics, passive transport through the cell membrane may be a significant gateway into the cell.
Scientists have discovered an abnormally strong absorption of light in magnetised graphene. The effect appears upon the conversion of normal electromagnetic waves into ultra-slow surface waves running along graphene.
To realize the full potential of DNA nanotechnology in nanoelectronics applications requires addressing a number of scientific and engineering challenges: how to create and manipulate DNA nanostructures? How to use them for surface patterning and integrating heterogeneous materials at the nanoscale? And how to use these processes to produce electronic devices at lower cost and with better performance? These topics are the focus of a recent reviewarticle.
