Scientists chemically treated the surface of wire-looking nanostructures made of zinc oxide to apply a uniform coating of titanium dioxide; these semiconducting nanowires could be used as high-activity catalysts for solar fuel production

Hiding from infrared detectors could become much easier, thanks to a new cloaking material that renders objects—and people—practically invisible

Record-setting efficiency for generation of neutrons

Engineers develop wires that penetrate neurons and measure their activity

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

Remarkable cryo-EM images of dendrites show details down to the individual atom, and will yield new insights into why high-energy batteries fail
