Oxygen is essential for life and a reactive player in many chemical processes. Accordingly, methods that accurately measure oxygen are relevant for numerous industrial and medical applications: They analyze exhaust gases from combustion processes, enable

A research team led by Prof. Jiang Changlong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed an innovative dual-mode sensing platform using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). This platform integrates fluores

Recently, a research team found a way to design a class of homochiral organometallic nanosheets that exhibit room-temperature multiferroic and topological nodes. Their study is published in Nano Letters.

Early diagnosis is crucial in disease prevention and treatment. Many diseases can be identified not just through physical signs and symptoms but also through changes at the cellular and molecular levels.

Next-generation imaging technology is rapidly expanding beyond smartphones into intelligent devices, robotics, extended reality (XR) devices, health care, CCTV, and various other industries. At the core of these technological advances are highly efficient

A new way to measure male fertility has been discovered by researchers at the University of Waterloo, opening the door to the development of simple, inexpensive tests for clinical and at-home use.

MXene is a lightweight two-dimensional (2D) material capable of protecting everything—including spacecraft, mechanical components, and maybe even people—from harmful radiation. Because traditional synthesis requires multi-step processes that can take up t

Researchers from the Department of Physics have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic vortex or "vortion." The research, published in Nature Communications, allows for an unprecedented level of control of magnet

Newly achieved precise control over light emitted from incredibly tiny sources, a few nanometers in size, embedded in two-dimensional (2D) materials could lead to remarkably high-resolution monitors and advances in ultra-fast quantum computing, according

Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce reliance on mining graphite, the raw source behind the "wonder material" graphene. In the journal Small, researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology say they have developed a reprod

Defects in two-dimensional materials (such as an atom-thick sheet of graphene) can dramatically alter the way that the surface ripples, even stopping the sheet in place like a freeze frame.

A research team led by Prof. Long Shibing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has, for the first time, made spintronic neuromorphic devices based on CoO/Pt heterostructure. The study is pu
