A recent study suggested that it is infinitely easier to make artificial graphene using C60 molecules called buckyballs. Only a uniform layer of these needs to be vapor-deposited onto gold for the gold electrons to take on the special graphene properties.

The technology could one day clear blockages in blood vessels or precisely target chemotherapy drugs to a tumor.

Scientists find a simple way to produce heterolayer coordination nanosheets, expanding the diversity of 2D materials.

The findings of a large-scale screen could help researchers design nanoparticles that target specific types of cancer.

Researchers have found a material that can perform much better than silicon. The next step is finding practical and economic ways to make it.

The molecular motor made of genetic material self-assembles and converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. The new nanomotors can be switched on and off, and the researchers can control the rotation speed and rotational direction.
