Researchers demonstrate that quantum materials of the topological insulator family can efficiently upconvert electromagnetic radiation in the terahertz (THz) regime. These results open new avenues for THz photonics technology and its application in sensing, security and sixth-generation mobile communications.

Technology that can change skin tissue into blood vessels and nerve cells has also shown promise as a treatment for traumatic muscle loss.

According to a new study, it is possible to capture carbon dioxide from the surrounding atmosphere and repurpose it into useful chemicals usually made from fossil fuels.

Researchers develop a way to predict the failure of crystalline metallic materials from the earliest stages of stress cycling.

A flipping action in a porous material facilitates the passage of normal water to separate it out from heavy water.

Scientists succeeded in developing a fully biodegradable nanoparticle capable of delivering a new anti-inflammatory drug directly into macrophages - the cells where uncontrolled inflammatory reactions are triggered - ensuring its effectiveness.

A new study illustrates how substrates affect strong electronic interactions in two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks.

The challenge of fabricating nanowires directly on silicon substrates for the creation of the next generation of electronics has finally been solved.
