Researchers have developed a weak fluorination strategy to address the zero-bandgap limitation of graphene.

Using a chemical reaction inspired by rocket fuel ignition, researchers have engineered a nanoporous carbon with the highest surface area ever reported, a breakthrough that is already proving beneficial for carbon-dioxide capture and energy storage technologies.

Scientists create a magnetic material with predictable, linearly scaling electrical conductivity from multi-layer down to single atomic layers.

The low-cost polymer stores data as 'dents', making a miniscule code in patterns, with the indents just nanometers in size - promising to store more data than typical hard disk drives.

Another advance has been made by experts in nanoscale chemistry to propel further development of sustainable and efficient generation of hydrogen from water using solar power.
