Experiments on tiny gold prisms help to explain the unusual electrodynamics of nanostructures

Korean Researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) developed a new method to massively synthesize enhanced yet affordable materials for supercapacitors.

Researchers from Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), South Korea, and University of Illinois, U.S.A, developed the large-scale heteroepitaxial growth III-V nanowires on a Si wafer.

(Tsukuba, 21 December 2012) Researchers in Japan and the US propose a nanoionic device with a range of neuromorphic and electrical multifunctions that may allow the fabrication of on-demand configurable circuits, analog memories and digital–neural fused networks in one device architecture.

Information within the bonds of molecules known as super benzene oligomers pave the way for new types of quantum computers

Gold nanocluster arrays developed at A*STAR are well suited for commercial applications of a high-performance sensing technique.

A thin film made of graphene and a charge-inducing polymer shows promise as a replacement for transparent electrical conductors in displays

Graphene-based materials kill bacteria through one of two possible mechanisms. Researchers at A*STAR Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology and co-workers have now compared the antibacterial activity of graphite, graphite oxide, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide using the model bacterium Escherichia coli.

A new lithography technique enables the production of nanoscale patterns of titania for high-tech applications.

Imaging nanoporous metals with beams of electrons provides deep insights into the unusual optical properties of these materials

A novel approach to designing artificial materials could enable magnetic devices with a wider range of properties than those now available. An international team of researchers have now extended the properties and potential uses of metamaterials by using not one but two very different classes of nanostructures, or metamolecules.
