One of the key goals of nanochemistry is to develop artificial systems that imitate biological processes, particularly aiming at replicating the basic behavior of life forms. In this field, the interaction between droplets is gaining increasing attention as model systems to approach the dynamic behaviors of living cells, which have evolved to harvest energy from their environments to drive the chemical processes that enable life. The development of these 'droplet frameworks' is an ...
As the world's appetite for carbon-based materials like graphite increases, researchers present evidence for a new carbon solid they named 'amorphous graphite'.
Researchers reviewed the current state of nanomaterial-based flexible monitoring and treatment devices and recommended next steps to make such devices a practical possibility.
Have you ever noticed when moving furniture that heavy objects are easier to move if you rotate them at the same time as you push? A research team has now investigated this phenomenon - the reduction in static friction caused by simultaneous rotation - on the microscopic scale.
Today we commonly encounter contactless RFID chips in a number of products, but can similar technology be implemented at the molecular level? The answer is yes.
