A European research team has improved solar cell performance by 500% by using copper oxide and zinc oxide nanowire arrays.
Micro-/Nanotechnology
Will the real Graphene please stand up?
Professor Martin Pumera shares his thoughts on the accurate identification of graphene and its related structures in research.
Is the Nano-Bubble about To Burst?
Professor Geoffrey Ozin shares his views on the current state of nanoscience: What are we going to do with all these nanomaterials? When is enough, enough?
The Good Nano Stuff – Where Is It Going?
Professor Geoffrey Ozin shares his views on the current state of nanoscience, in particular the future of the promising nanomaterials: Where is the good nano stuff going?
Polymersomes Produced by Microfluidics
A new polymer-based microfluidic device capable of producing tiny polymer-based capsules continuously without clogging.
Atomic Switches with Larger Gaps and Light-Dependence
Light is needed to initiate a new type of atomic switch that has gaps larger than the previously required 1 nm. A series of such wavelength-dependent devices could one day be used for image recognition.
Magnetic Micromachines
Chinese researchers have used lasers to made tiny springs and turbines out of a polymerized ferrofluid, which could be used in micro- or nanomachines.
Biocompatible Quantum Dots
Progress in using quantum dots for in vivo imaging: for the first time, a systematic biodistribution study of silica-coated quantum dots is reported.
Thin and smooth sub-10 nm metallic lines
Metal lines thinner than 10 nm can be fabricated by electron-beam patterning and hydrogen reduction of metal-naphthenates.
Inner Values Trump Exterior
Metal-organic frameworks surpass feasible nanoparticle powders in surface area and come close to the ultimate adsorption limit for solids.
