Magnetic materials are considered to be the foundation of technologies that presently play extremely crucial roles in the lives of human beings. Their significance is also seen in hard-disk data storage and sensing.
The reason why atoms cannot be viewed with the naked eye is that they are very tiny in relation to the wavelength of light — a good example for a common principle in optics, namely that light is insensitive to features that are considerably small relative to the optical wavelength. Yet, a new study published in the journal Science demonstrates that features even 100 times smaller than the optical wavelength can be sensed by light.
A new and improved way for detecting interactions between light and matter at the atomic level has been developed by Researchers from the University of Central Florida. This discovery could lead to improvements in the emerging field of two-dimensional materials and also new techniques to control light
According to a new study published in the journal PLOS Computational Biology, researchers can improve on conventional protein analysis methods by using tiny nanopores, which ‘scan’ the proteins as they pass through them.
A technique for reducing the toxic effects of commercially available cigarettes has been developed by chemists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU).
Proteins perform vital functions of life. They digest food and fight infections and cancer. They are in effect nano-machines, each one of them designed to do a specific function. But how did they evolve to fulfil those needs, how did the genes encode the structure and purpose of proteins?
Scientists at the University of Arkansas have successfully performed a study for elucidating the optical characteristics of plasmonic nanostructures. This research can open the door for developing enhanced sensors applied in security and biomedical devices, as well as in solar cells. The Researchers from the Department of Physics recently reported the outcomes of the research in the PLOS ONE journal.
Materials categorized as “nanoporous” contain structures, that is, “frameworks,” whose pores have a diameter of nearly 100 nm. Such materials include various materials applied in different areas such as catalysis, gas separation, and also medicine (e.g. activated charcoal).
Recently, lanthanide-doped upconversion nanocrystals have discovered immense potential in the applications of nonlinear optoelectronic and near-infrared bioimaging devices because of their exceptional photostability and tunable spectral characteristics.
Researchers from the Rice University have developed a rechargeable lithium metal battery with a capacity that is three times that of commercial lithium-ion batteries. They achieved this by overcoming a problem that has challenged researchers for a long time, namely, the dendrite problem.
