A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. The same layered material can be made to behave as a superc

Researchers from the Institute of Polymer Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University, have developed a smart gel that responds to multiple stimuli for precise drug release.

Pioneering new research could help unlock exciting new potential to create ultrafast, laser-driven storage devices. The study, led by experts from the University of Exeter, could revolutionize the field of data storage through the development of laser-dri

When materials are created on a nanometer scale—just a handful of atoms thick—even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. How these ripples affect the mechanical properties of these thin materials can limit their use

FAMU-FSU College of Engineering researchers have created a new method for studying protein degradation within immune cells that uses engineered microparticles to track and analyze degradation processes more effectively than traditional methods.

Researchers from the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Lehigh University have developed a nanostructured copper alloy that could redefine high-temperature materials for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications.

Researchers at the Universities of Amsterdam and Zurich have developed a molecular system for the controlled release of iron. They integrated ferrocene, a molecular sandwich that encloses an iron atom, with a carbon "nanohoop."

The team led by Delphine Bouilly, a professor in UdeM's Physics Department and director of IRIC's Electronic Nanobiosensor Design and Application Research Unit, has developed an original technique for manipulating and moving graphene, a 1-atom-thick mat

An international research team from Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Croatia, Norway, Spain and Japan has made a significant breakthrough in understanding ultrafast electronic dynamics, revealing the profound impact of aqueous solvation on electronic rearra

A research team, led by Professor Taesung Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UNIST, reports the development of a technology that utilizes nanoscale wrinkles formed on transparent films to display or conceal color patterns, such as the tr

Imagine if a doctor could remotely do a non-invasive, highly precise medical procedure on her patients using a tiny robot, or microrobot. With a device researchers from SMU and George Washington University created, that is one step closer to reality.

Life's essential functions are powered by a set of compounds called metabolites, which are involved in every natural process, including producing energy, regulating cell activity and keeping the body's systems in balance. Tracking these molecules offers
