Graphical abstract . Credit: ACS Nano (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.3c10575 Molecular computer components could represent a new IT revolution and help us create cheaper, faster, smaller, and more powerful computers. Yet…
Waste is turned into a nanoweb, which can then filter pollutants. Credit: Vienna University of Technology Using waste to purify water may sound counterintuitive. But at TU Wien, this is…
The regular arrangement of nanoscopic structures can create physical patterns, such as structural coloration found in butterflies and bird’s feathers. The new theory by MPI-DS scientists can help to understand…
When exposed to larger grooves in the ceramic coatings, immune cells stretch out finger-like appendages, a sign that they’ve taken on an anti-inflammatory role. Credit: Mohammad Asadi Tokmedash, Min Lab,…
Josephson junctions incorporating domain walls in minimally twisted bilayers. Credit: Julien Barrier et al In a significant development in the field of superconductivity, researchers at The University of Manchester have…
