Materials are often considered to be one phase, but many engineering materials contain two or more phases, improving their properties and performance. These...
Researchers have developed a method of 'wiring up' graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), a class of one-dimensional materials that are of interest in the scaling...
Engineers have devised a new solution to control a major agricultural menace, root-damaging nematodes. Using plant viruses, the researchers created nanoparticles that can...
There is a largely untapped energy source along the world's coastlines: the difference in salinity between seawater and freshwater. A new nanodevice can...
Scientists have successfully developed nanomaterials using a so-called bottom-up approach. They exploit the fact that crystals often grow in a specific direction during...
Researchers have developed plasmonic plastic -- a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed. This research has now...
