An electron microscope-based lithography system for patterning materials at sizes as small as a single nanometer could be used to create and study materials with new properties

Capacity fade is the reason why a cell phone battery that used to last a whole day will, after a couple of years, last perhaps only a few hours

The nanovaccine consists of tumor antigens—tumor proteins that can be recognized by the immune system—inside a synthetic polymer nanoparticle

In a paper published Apr. 21 in Science, Argonne and Temple University researchers describe the behavior of metal nanoparticles by watching them in real time as they oxidized

Manmade materials could get a lot greener soon, thanks to the ingenuity of a team of scientists from three U.S. research universities

Columbia Engineers use ice-templating to control electrolyte structure in lithium batteries; solid-state is non-flammable, non-toxic and flexible with longer battery life

Stanford engineers use SDSC’s ‘Comet’ to develop a plastic fabric that cools the skin

New compact Raman spectrometer allows for simultaneous analysis of a single measurement point using multiple analytical techniques

In a recent study, researchers developed a new way to create some of the world’s thinnest wires, using a process that could enable mass manufacturing with standard types of equipment

Bioactive foam can be molded to skull bone lost to injury, surgery, or birth defect

New metamaterials-based technology could replace infrared sensors used for gas leaks, agriculture, and recycling

“We have used a tabletop, laser-based light source with pulses of X-rays at energies that have so far been limited only to large-facility sources," said researcher
