Cooling matter from a distance

Researchers have succeeded in forming a control loop consisting of two quantum systems separated by a distance of one meter. Within this loop, one quantum system - a vibrating nanomechanical membrane - is cooled by the other - a cloud of atoms, and the two systems are coupled to one another by laser light.

Engineering a multi-element atomic arrangement

For the first time, a research group has demonstrated the single phase nanoscale multi-principal element intermetallics with up to 8 different metals - completely devoid of particle growth, or phase separation - via a novel multi-element disorder-to-order strategy.

Cats in a cage: Novel hybrid nanocages for faster catalysis

A novel hybrid ferritin nanocage with histidine residues shows 1.5 times higher metal ion uptake and improved catalytic efficiency for alcohol production. These findings suggest that hybrid bio-nanocages could effectively catalyze reactions to yield industrially important products.
