Laser-based system now has the ability to capture moment-to-moment details of high-speed processes such as hypersonic propulsion and protein folding.

Engineers have developed modular nanoparticles that can be easily customized to target different biological entities such as tumors, viruses or toxins.

Researchers have created a soft artificial skin with liquid metal sensors that mimics human perception of softness and consistency across objects.

Researchers find an analytical expression to explain the formation of one-dimensional channels in bilayer graphene. These channels are not artifacts, but naturally occur in piled 2D materials when a strain force is applied.

The emergence and control of magnetic properties in cobalt nitride layers (initially non-magnetic) by voltage, without connecting the sample to electrical wiring, represents a paradigm shift that can facilitate the creation of magnetic nanorobots for biomedicine and computing systems where basic information management processes do not require wiring.

Researchers are trying to reverse the traditional approach to developing quantum-scale, energy-efficient electrical and computing components.
