An electrically tunable graphene-based biosensor amplified by surface acoustic waves detects ultrathin protein, peptide and polymer layers at unprecedented resolution, even down to the single molecule limit.
New microchip design with 10-nanometer windows facilitates unprecedented electron microscope imagery resolution to directly visualize chemical reactions at fundamental scales.
Researchers develop 100-nanometer-thick 'aramid nanodielectric' films ideal for skin-mounted electronics like sweat-immune medical sensors and flexible computer circuits thinner than human hair.
Researchers have produced exceptionally high-quality lanthanum oxychloride dielectric films perfect for constructing next-generation layered transistors compatible with two-dimensional semiconductors. The atomically smooth crystals integrate cleanly, enabling hysteresis-free switching.
Researchers demonstrate first 3D printed nanoengineered hydrogel electronic skin able to simultaneously and sensitively monitor dynamic changes in mechanical strain, pressure, and temperature comparable to natural human skin.
Fracturing graphene sheets smaller than 1 nanometer via mechanical ball milling generates exotic transient energy states that greatly intensify light absorption and emission.
Scientists have developed methods to enhance near-infrared light-powered molecular machines called 'molecular jackhammers' that can perforate cell membranes on command.
Researchers optimized oxygen vacancy-rich molybdenum oxide nanograins anchored on carbon fibers as an electrocatalyst, achieving record efficiency for the sustainable electrochemical conversion of nitrogen to ammonia.
