Such new nanopropellers hold great potential for biomedical applications and minimally invasive surgeries of the future. • Email to a friend • Carbon nanotubes based sensors can measure pressure with high precision. • Email to a friend • Superconducting materials, which entirely lose their electrical resistance at low temperatures, have become ever more widespread over recent years. Nevertheless, the fascinating phenomenon of superconductivity does not cease to surprise, as the kinds of materials able to superconduct, as well as the mechanisms through which superconductivity emerges, have become increasingly diverse. One of the prime examples is found in the compound 2D material tantalum disulfide, where the critical temperature below which superconductivity appears increases multifold as the crystal is made thinner down to a monolayer. • Email to a friend • |
