Nanostructured Materials

Important biomedical application, including biosensing

Team added a samarium hexaboride nanowire to the tip of their scanning tunneling microscope

Device may have far-reaching applications in polarization imaging, quantum optics, and more

Scientists create a hybrid material consisting of imitation pearl combined with silver nanowires that works as a heater

Micro-engineered battery architectures, combined with high energy material such as tin, offer exciting new battery features

Researchers at the University of Cambridge develop new technology for the production of invisible materials.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have headed a study that has provided new knowledge about the EphA2 receptor, which is significant in several forms of cancer. This is important knowledge in itself – but just as important is how this study, which is published in the highly respected journal Nature Methods today, was conducted. The researchers used the method of DNA origami, in which a DNA molecule is shaped into a nanostructure, and used these structures to test theories about cell signalling.

Researchers at Columbia Engineering, led by Chemical Engineering Professors Venkat Venkatasubramanian and Sanat Kumar, have developed a new approach to designing novel nanostructured materials through an inverse design framework using genetic algorithms.
