Researchers made a COF-hBN photocatalytic surface that uses light to degrade pollutants in flowing water, including PFAS, drugs and dyes. (Nanowerk News) Materials scientists at Rice University and ...

Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, a team of scientists from the University of Amsterdam have developed a material that can reflect different colors of light, depending on how it is stretched.

Imagine a cloud that shines like a neon sign, but instead of raindrops, it contains countless microscopic dust grains floating in midair. This is a dusty plasma, a bizarre state of matter found both ...

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, causing approximately 9 million deaths annually. Currently, reperfusion therapy (such as thrombolysis or interventional procedures) is ...

Researchers developed a pH-responsive graphene nanomaterial that evades the immune system in blood and targets cancer cells in acidic tumors for safer, more precise therapy. (Nanowerk News) Cancer ...

Recently, Nano Research announced awardees of the 2024 Nano Research Young Innovators (NR45) Awards in Nanomaterial Self-assembly. Twenty-four outstanding young investigators under the age of 45 were ...

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission has introduced two new certified reference materials, titanium dioxide and barium sulfate powders, to improve the accuracy and reliability of ...

Abstract: This work explores the recent advances in the integration of functional nanomaterial coatings with optical fibers to enhance the biosensing performance applied to various domains, including ...

Supercapacitors are an important component of modern energy storage systems, and their performance depends heavily on the materials used in their electrodes. While layered double hydroxides (LDHs) ...

When water freezes into ice or boils into vapor, its properties change dramatically at specific temperatures. These so-called phase transitions are fundamental to understanding materials. But how do ...

Using machine learning, a team of researchers in Canada has created ultrahigh-strength carbon nanolattices, resulting in a material that's as strong as carbon steel, but only as dense as Styrofoam.
