Graphene-White Graphene Combination Shown to Improve Self-Sensing Properties of Ceramics

A ceramic that turns less electrically conductive when subjected to plastic strain and more conductive under elastic strain could open the door for a new generation of sensors that can be integrated into structures such as bridges, buildings, and aircraft with the ability to monitor their own health.

Palladium Used by Researchers to Track Nanoplastics

Over 98% of the tiniest plastic particles from sewers are retained in sludge. Scientists have been able to establish this by integrating the precious metal palladium as a tracer in artificial nanoplastics.

Study Shows Graphene Crinkles Could Pave Way for New Type of Controlled Molecular Self-Assembly

Ten years ago, researchers observed that dumping buckyballs—carbon molecules resembling soccer balls—onto a specific type of multilayer graphene resulted in a flat carbon nanomaterial, which is a relatively unusual phenomenon.

A New Approach to Create Waterproof Graphene-Based Sensors

The electrical resistance of graphene—a two-dimensional (2D) material—is generally distorted by water molecules, but now a group of European researchers has reported that contact resistance is not affected by humidity when graphene is incorporated with the metal of a circuit.

Functional Bulk Nanocomposites Created Using Aerosol-Assisted Biosynthesis Strategy

One of the coolest scenes in the movie Avengers: Infinity War takes place when Iron Man switches on his nanotech armor and manipulates nanoparticles to generate the armor upon his skin.

Rice University Researchers Argue that Photoluminescence Gives Gold Nanoparticles their Remarkable Light-Emitting Properties

When a metal nanoparticle is illuminated, light is reflected back which usually has a different color. That is a fact, but why it does so has become a debatable topic.

New Computer Experiment Shows Discrepancy in Describing the Behavior of Magnetic Nanoparticles

Researchers at Ural Federal University in collaboration with colleagues from Edinburgh carried out a computer experiment which showed that it is inappropriate to illustrate the behavior of magnetic nanoparticles that offer cell heating as the sum of reactions with each other: particles continuously interact, and their “collective behavior” creates a unique effect.

Study Shows How Technologically Important Platinum Forms Nano-Bubbles

The noble metal—platinum—is oxidized more rapidly than expected under technologically relevant conditions. This finding was revealed from a study jointly performed by the University of Vienna and the DESY NanoLab.
