Materials scientists from the USA have made a thin layer of quantum dots on a photonic crystal surface, thereby creating a stable material with enhanced emission properties.

Scientists develop a simple way to organise nanoparticles on a surface without the need to first alter the surface.

Chinese researchers have used lasers to made tiny springs and turbines out of a polymerized ferrofluid, which could be used in micro- or nanomachines.

A one-step process is used to prepare a variety of nanoparticle membranes that exhibit trampoline-like properties.

Imaging technique enables studies on the dynamics of nanocatalysts at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution.
