The environmentally friendly process generates a 20-fold increase in surface area per sheet, which could expand the nanomaterials’ commercial applications

Gerald Stringfellow will receive the International Organization for Crystal Growth’s Frank Prize, the top award in the field of semiconductor growth

"It's an exciting finding from the standpoint of basic science, in that we've found a new polymer phase and have identified a method for inducing it," said researcher

Scientists are working on improving the sensitivity, compactness and cost of surface plasmon resonance devices by changing the materials used to make them.

“Our work turns the tiniest of particles from inflexible, Lego-like pieces into ones that can transform themselves into a range of shapes,” researcher says

Researchers' work proposes an approach that challenges conventional wisdom

With a mission to improve worldwide health, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation put out a call to researchers around the world to build a better condom

Team is always on the lookout for abundant and sustainable materials that can be converted into value-added products

Or will these potentially life-saving technologies never make it out of the lab?

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) have made an object disappear by using a material with nano-size particles that can enhance specific properties on the object’s surface

$10 million grant supports international team’s efforts

The bottom line could be a potentially new class of high thermal conductivity materials useful for heat dissipation from power electronics, LEDs, and other applications
