Researchers have improved upon techniques that use thin films to compress infrared light, demonstrating three advantages that make the films more useful for practical applications. The researchers have proven that the "squeezed" infrared light c

Juan Casado Cordón, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Malaga, considers graphene—an infinite layer of carbon atoms—as one of the greatest discoveries of the last 20 years due to its "unique properties" such as high electrical

For the design of future materials, it is important to understand how the individual atoms inside a material interact with each other quantum mechanically. Previously inexplicable vibrational states between carbon chains (carbyne) and nanotubes have puzzl

Recent technological advances are fueling the development of cutting-edge technologies that can monitor and control physiological processes with high precision. These include devices that could control the expression of genes within living organisms, with

A research team led by Dr. Lim Sang-kyu in DGIST's Department of Energy and Environmental Technology has developed a smart fiber sensor that can detect natural disasters such as landslides in real time. The new fiber is based on piezoelectric technology,

There has been a lot of interest in recent years in governing new technologies, especially for AI. Yet, before the current hype in AI, there was nanotechnology and others before it. In his doctoral thesis, Nicholas Surber details the extensive politics, a

Wouldn't it be amazing if we could continuously monitor the molecular state of our body? Consider the solutions that could enable, from optimized drug delivery to early detection of deadly diseases like cancer.

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic two-dimensional material with potential across electroni

Researchers have developed the world's first near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanosensor capable of real-time, non-destructive and species-agnostic detection of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)—the primary bioactive auxin hormone that controls the way plants de

As the world's energy needs for computing and artificial intelligence continue to increase, developing alternative low-power solutions to traditional computing becomes crucial. Devices that reliably generate randomness, or stochasticity, are vital for ma

Determining how strong your drink is doesn't need to be either guesswork or lab work. New research has made it as simple as checking your messages—and more colorful, too. The study is published in the journal Small Science.

A research team affiliated with UNIST has announced the development of an innovative nonlinear imaging technique capable of visualizing internal biological tissues in 3D using ordinary light sources, such as laser pointers, instead of costly ultrafast pul
