Researchers Use Synthetic Strands of DNA to Create Nanoparticle Clusters and Arrays

Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have combined the artificial strands of DNA to function in two ways: rope-like configurations of the DNA double helix were used to create a strong geometrical framework, and dangling pieces of single-strands of DNA were added to stick nanoparticles in place.

Scientists Create Phase-Shifting Forms of Dynamic Nanomaterials

Scientists belonging to the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) have made significant progress in creating dynamic, phase-shifting forms of nanomaterials by altering the forces of attraction and repulsion between DNA-linked particles. The structure and properties of these nanomaterials could be switched on when required.

Transmission Electron Microscope Helps Spot Twin Boundary Defects to Improve Lithium-Ion Batteries

Most people see defects as flaws. A few Michigan Technological University researchers, however, see them as opportunities. Twin boundaries — which are small, symmetrical defects in materials — may present an opportunity to improve lithium-ion batteries. The twin boundary defects act as energy highways and could help get better performance out of the batteries.

Lehigh Tribologist Studies Fundamental Origins of Friction on Complex Nanocomposite Surfaces

That's a low estimate of how much friction and wear costs the U.S. every year. In fact, studies suggest that so-called "normal wear and tear" costs industrialized countries some 2 to 6 percent of their annual gross domestic product.

Bendable, Light-Emitting Nanocellulose Paper Infused with Biocompatible Quantum Dots

The rapid evolution of gadgets has brought us an impressive array of "smart" products from phones to tablets, and now watches and glasses. But they still haven't broken free from their rigid form. Now scientists are reporting in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces a new step toward bendable electronics. They have developed the first light-emitting, transparent and flexible paper out of environmentally friendly materials via a simple, suction-filtration method.
