Chemical modification of single-walled carbon nanotubes (Metallacycles include carbon nanotubes) is a critical step to exploit their properties. Either by covalent modification or by supra molecular functionalisation of their surface,...

By constructing a multilayer nanoparticle film, researchers led by Prof. YANG Liangbao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) formed a natural gap...

A film just 250 nanometers or 0.00025 mm thick has given scientists a glimpse of the superfast world (A super-fast world captured with ultra-thin films). The film is made from...

Physicists at the National University of Australia (ANU) have created small transparent slides (Nanoparticles control light like traffic signs) that can create two very different images depending on the direction...

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new method that is suitable for mechanical tensile testing of micro-and nanofibers. Special features (A New method developed for tensile testing) Samples can...

Micrometer-sized drones (Microdrons with light-driven nanomotors) print only with light and precise control: this is the first time that physicists at the University of Würzburg have succeeded. Their microdrones are...

For more than a decade, scientists have been trying with limited success to synthesize a new form of carbon called graphene (Next generation miracle material). However, this experiment is now...

Working with the smallest magnets, the Hebrew University discovered a new magnetic phenomenon with industrial potential. For physicists, exploring the kingdom in a very small area is a great country....

Researchers are investigating new ways of artificially assembling two-dimensional (2D) materials and identifying so-called 2.5D materials (A new era of 2.5D materials) with unique physical properties. Japanese researchers researched the...

New materials allow new technologies to convert sunlight into electricity and fuels. The combination of molecules and small nanoparticles makes these materials a reality. Molecules of these materials absorb sunlight...
