A new class of magnetic nanodevices could soon have their magnetism electrically controlled after a new observation from physicists show a new kind of rotation - one that is possible in materials composed of light elements.
Researchers successfully demonstrated that adding clusters of gold nanoparticles to shape-memory polymers, then stretching them, changes their plasmon-coupling traits, allowing them to have different and beneficial optical properties.
Chinese researchers are looking into acid-sensitive nanoparticles' potential as a potential treatment for pancreatic cancer - drawing inspiration from host defense peptides (HDP).
A new scientific report reviews the role nanotechnology plays in the ongoing fight against the novel coronavirus, examining its role in diagnosing and curing the highly-contagious COVID-19.
Quantum dots generally refer to specially fabricated nanocrystals that exhibit unique electrical and optical properties due to their inherent quantum properties. However, conventional technology has limited quantum dots to toxic and costly metals as raw materials.
A recently-published study of electronic states' changing shape induced by such interactions, has potential application in using molecules as "individually addressable units."
Unbeknownst to many, consumer products are filled with nanomaterials that are harmful to the health. They are considered the invisible killers that are more dangerous to viruses in the long term if no safety precautions are made.
Nanomedicine is an emerging field of study that employs techniques, diagnostics, and therapies in the minute yet precise nanometer scale - and new research could help better observe these very small particles.
While carbon nanotube fibers are known to be less durable than the nanotubes within them, a new study could help close the gap between these materials.
A research team from the University of Manchester in the UK has overtaken Egyptian linen's finest Egyptian linen for the world's finest woven fabric, recognized by the Guinness World Records.
A new design for ultra-efficient, nano-thin piezoelectric materials could revolutionize self-powered electronics, such as wearable gadgets and medical implants like pacemakers.
As a key technology in achieving the next generation of communications and computing technologies, quantum entanglement has been a topic of interest in the scientific community - with the latest efforts detailing how to achieve it through the application of heat.
