ACS Nano just published an editorial on Russia's attack on Ukraine by 36 scientists active in nanotechnologies that is a must-read for every scientist!
Medical imaging tools have come a long way since the humble x-ray, but most existing tools remain too coarse to quantify numbers or specific types of cells inside deep tissues of the body. Quantum dots can do that, according to new research.
Using the high power laser system they developed, scientists have managed to generate attosecond pulses at 100 kHz repetition rate. This enables new types of experiments in attosecond science.
Researchers have developed smart contact lenses containing bimetallic nanocatalysts immobilized in nanoporous hydrogels for long-term and robust continuous glucose monitoring.
Researchers demonstrate rapid cutting and folding of a printed circuit board (PCB) into complex 3D electronics using only a simple laser cutter. This origami manufacturing technology has the potential to allow faster and cheaper production of 3D electronic devices based on thin shells such as antennas that are poorly suited for current 3D printing methods. The technique relies on a method known as laser forming, where heat from a focused laser generates bending within a target.
Lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells and many other devices depend on the high mobility of ions in order to work properly. Researchers have now shown for the first time that light can be used to increase the mobility of ions and improve the performance of such devices.
By managing to store a qubit in a crystal (a 'memory') for 20 milliseconds, scientists have set a world record and taken a major step towards the development of long-distance quantum telecommunications networks.
Researchers study the effects of temperature on the nonlinear optical response of nitrogen-vacancy defects in a diamond, which may lead to new heat detection methods for nanotechnology devices.
