In nearly 80 years, computers have shrunk from electronic behemoths that filled 50-by-30-foot rooms to smartphones that fit in the palm of your hand. That’s largely because transistors have shrunk ...

Graphene consists of carbon atoms that crosslink in a plane to form a flat honeycomb structure. In addition to surprisingly high mechanical stability, the material has exciting electronic properties.

Engineers have developed an experimental strategy to control and observe the chemical reaction of a single nanocatalyst using an optical microscope -- Expected to contribute to catalyst design based ...

Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) have settled a two-decade-long debate about the spin direction of electrons on the surface of gold. The study was published in the Journal of ...

(Nanowerk News) Photocatalysis, sensors, solar cells: nanoparticles that are excited by light promise a variety of applications, if the processes behind their behaviour can be controlled. One such ...
