Technology
Flexible metamaterials could form new optical systems
New thin, planar, lightweight, and broadband polarimetric photonic devices and optics could result from recent research by a team of Los Alamos scientists.
Microfluidic method expands nanoparticle toolbox
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new flow-based method for manipulating and confining single particles in free solution.
University of Pennsylvania team win funding for materials origami
Research could ultimately lead to a drug-delivery device, an emergency shelter, or even a space station.
Carbon monoxide discovery solves catalytic problem
Catalysts can stop working when atoms on the surface start moving – new work means this dance of the atoms could now be observed and explained.
Stretchable, transparent graphene-metal nanowire electrode
A transparent and stretchable electrode could open the new way for flexible displays, solar cells, and electronic devices fitted on a curvature substrate.
Nanoscale interface improves Li-ion battery electrodes
Scientists from the National Center for Nanoscience and Technology of China develop high-performance electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
Buffalo researchers to examine hydrogen fuel production
Two scientists have received a grant from the Research Corporation for Science Advancement to devise a new method for gleaning hydrogen fuel from water.
Defective graphene is still strongest material
Researchers demonstrate that graphene made from many small crystalline grains is almost as strong as graphene in its perfect crystalline form.
Nanoengineering boosts heat to energy conversion
