The discovery of 'massless' electrons in this phase-change material could lead to faster electronic devices. • Email to a friend • Researchers investigate the effect of original surface topography of Cu(111) substrate on surface roughening after graphene growth. • Email to a friend • When nanocellulose is combined with various types of metal nanoparticles, materials are formed with many new and exciting properties. They may be antibacterial, change colour under pressure, or convert light to heat. • Email to a friend • Biomimetic nanoprobes are prepared by composing ferric oxide and fluorescent dye, and coating the surface of nanoprobes by bioorthogonally labeled brain tumor cell membrane for crossing the BBB and targeting brain tumor cells. • Email to a friend • Perovskite QLEDs possess the features of wide gamut and real color expression; that's why they have been considered as very promising candidates for next-generation high-quality lighting and displays. However, device efficiency and stability of perovskite QLEDs has always been a major challenge. Researchers now report a new passivation technique that greatly enhances device performance and stability compared to single interface processing. • Email to a friend • |
