Read moreIn 1998, spectroscopic studies on the Kondo effect using scanning tunnelling microscopy were published, which are considered ground-breaking and have triggered countless others of a similar kind. Many of these studies may have to be re-examined now that researchers have shown that the Kondo effect cannot be proven beyond doubt by this method. Instead, another phenomenon is creating precisely the spectroscopic 'fingerprint' that was previously attributed to the Kondo effect.

Read moreEngineering researchers have developed a new technique for eliminating particularly tough blood clots, using engineered nanodroplets and an ultrasound 'drill' to break up the clots from the inside out. The technique has not yet gone through clinical testing. In vitro testing has shown promising results.

Read moreChemists have developed a nanomaterial that they can trigger to shape shift - from flat sheets to tubes and back to sheets again - in a controllable fashion. The nanomaterial holds potential for a range of biomedical applications, from controlled-release drug delivery to tissue engineering.

Read moreAll photo-electronic devices work on the basis that the materials inside them absorb, transmit and reflect light. Understanding the photo properties of a specific material at the atomic level not only helps to decide what material to choose for a given application but also opens up ways to control such properties on demand.

Read moreThe odd, wavy pattern that results from viewing certain phone or computer screens through polarized glasses has led researchers to take a step toward thinner, lighter-weight lenses. The pattern is made by laying one material with opaque and translucent parts at an angle over another material of similar contrast.
