The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has developed a safety evaluation technology for nanoparticles* used in UV-blocking cosmetics and has listed it as an international standard.
A research team at Indiana University Bloomington has uncovered new details about how a tiny virus builds its protective outer shell —a crucial part of its ability to infect cells.
The shape of nanoparticles depends on the choice of solvent and temperature during their growth, but the seed particles that form first are too small to measure accurately. Researchers have developed a new approach to successfully model seed particles with 100 to 200 atoms.
Researchers have uncovered a more efficient way to turn carbon dioxide into methanol, a type of alcohol that can serve as a cleaner alternative fuel.
Delphine Bouilly's team has developed an innovative, automated technique for large-scale graphene transfer, facilitating the production of electronic chips for molecular diagnostics.
Imagine if a doctor could remotely do a non-invasive, highly precise medical procedure on her patients using a tiny robot, or microrobot? With a device researchers from SMU and George Washington University created, that is one step closer to reality.
Researchers have developed a new material that, by harnessing the power of sunlight, can clear water of dangerous pollutants.
Argonne researchers have shown that they can use light to temporarily alter the crystal symmetry within lead sulfide quantum dots. This process reduces the off-centering of lead atoms and affects the electronic properties of the quantum dots.
Researchers have discovered that phasons, low-temperature quasiparticles found in crystal lattices, enable interlayer excitons to move at very low temperatures, when motion should stop. In addition to contributing to foundational materials science knowledge, this discovery could help improve the stability of quantum technologies, such as using excitons as qubits.
New Jersey Institute of Technology Professors Vivek Kumar and Xuan Liu have been named as Senior Members in the National Academy of Inventors (NAI) 2025 class. They join 162 emerging academic inventors from 64 NAI Member Institutions across the nation recognized for their outstanding contributions to innovation.
Empa researchers from the nanotech@surfaces laboratory have experimentally recreated another fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, which goes back to the Nobel Prize laureate Werner Heisenberg. The basis for the successful experiment was a kind of “quantum Lego” made of tiny carbon molecules known as nanographenes.
Early diagnosis is crucial in disease prevention and treatment. Many diseases can be identified not just through physical signs and symptoms but also through changes at the cellular and molecular levels. When it comes to a majority of chronic conditions early detection, particularly at the cellular level, gives patients a better chance for successful treatment.
Penn State researchers aim to enhance the University's research and development capabilities in next-generation semiconductor technology thanks to $4.3 million in infrastructure funding and in-kind support through the University’s membership in MMEC, a consortium of regional partners focused on microelectronics research and development. The funding from MMEC, part of a broader initiative under the Department of Defense Microelectronics Commons effort under the federal CHIPS Act, will help the University establish an advanced lab for semiconductor thin films and device research in the Materials Research Institute’s (MRI) facilities in the Millennium Science Complex at University Park.
A team of researchers has developed a pioneering 3-axis Hall-effect magnetic sensor based on an inverted pyramid structure. This innovative design offers significant advancements in both sensitivity and offset reduction, positioning it as a promising solution for applications requiring precise and reliable magnetic field detection in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President: Dr. Lee Ho Seong) has developed a technology that controls the energy of single electrons in the desired form.
Dr. Seol’s team at KERI achieves a printing resolution about 1/100th the thickness of a human hair By eliminating the use of additives (binders) and post-processing, obstacles in the utilization of MXene, improvements in battery performance are expected.
Do Kyung Hwang (Post-Silicon Semiconductor Institute, KIST; KU-KIST Graduate School, KIST School) and Dr. Min-Chul Park (Post-Silicon Semiconductor Institute, KIST; Korea University, and Yonsei University), along with their joint research team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST, President Sang-Rok Oh), have successfully developed an innovative electrode material called Conductive-Bridge Interlayer Contact (CBIC), enabling the realization of a 2D semiconductor-based image sensor with high optical signal efficiency.
At the end of January, Empa opened a new laboratory that aims to harness quantum effects from carbon. This could pave the way for sustainable quantum technologies, including quantum computers. The project is supported by the Werner Siemens Foundation.
Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials.
A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research team has developed organic-material-based nanozymes that are non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and cost effective. In two new studies, they introduce next-generation organic nanozymes and explore a point-of-use platform for molecule detection in agricultural products.
