Scientists have found a new way to structure carbon at the nanoscale, making a super-light material that's superior to diamond on the strength-to-density ratio.
Swiss researchers have now identified an unusual way to prevent water from forming ice crystals, so even at extreme sub-zero temperatures it retains the amorphous characteristics of a liquid.
Scientists have produced a memristive element made from nanowires that functions in much the same way as a biological nerve cell. The component is able to both save and process information.
In a historic first, US researchers in collaboration with partners around the world, have been able to control the direction of a laser's output beam by applying external voltage.
Physicists have discovered how to manipulate and control individual molecules for a millionth of a billionth of a second, after being intrigued by some seemingly odd results.
The titanium microbots could one day provide a minimally invasive method for delivering therapies in humans.
A team of scientists in Germany has managed to prop up a molecule into a position that it would not naturally assume.
A French nanorobotics team has assembled a new microrobotics system that pushes forward the frontiers of optical nanotechnologies.
New techniques in DNA self-assembly allow researchers to create the largest to-date customizable patterns with nanometer precision on a budget.
A research team got a lab result that even he couldn't quite believe. It goes against all conventional wisdom: the first evidence of a protein that could conduct electricity like a metal.
Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch.
Researchers from Israel have developed a new kind of photoinitiator for 3D printing in water. The photoinitiators could be used to make bio-friendly 3D printed structures.
Factories would only have to adapt to the new electrodes, rather than throwing out their existing battery know-how.
A newly-developed ultra-thin material tricks the human eye into perceiving highly detailed 3D images without the need for special glasses.
A first-of-its-kind nanoparticle vaccine immunotherapy has been developed that targets several different cancer types
