Researchers found that cycling water in nanopores of water-repellent silicon can convert mechanical energy into measurable ...

Nanotechnology - the ability to manipulate matter on the scale of 1 to 100 nanometre - has captured the popular imagination in such prominent works of fiction as Michael Crichton's bestseller Prey, ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) remains an indispensable tool for visualising material surfaces at the nanometre scale. The technique relies on a focused electron beam to generate high-resolution ...

Scientists in China have developed the world’s most complex two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor microprocessor, which is less than one nanometre thick. Scientists across the world are turning to 2D ...

The tumour specificities and potency of miniaturized cancer targeting peptides are among the major issues of current cancer research. Over 100 peptides were evaluated in this study. According to the ...

A new way to gauge distance using lasers can measure lengths of more than 100 kilometres to within a thousandth of the width of a human hair, and could be used to make better space telescopes. In ...

A gap-controlled infrared technique makes it possible to study molecular interfaces with high sensitivity using affordable, widely available lab equipment. These molecular interfaces are everywhere—on ...
