(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics boast impressive strength and durability, but their inherent rigidity and brittleness have long hindered applications demanding flexibility, such as filters, sensors, ...

(Nanowerk News) Boronic acid has been used in organic chemistry for decades, even though it is not present in any organism. ‘It gives rise to different chemical reactions than those we find in nature, ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in the emerging field of spatial computing have developed a prototype augmented reality headset that uses holographic imaging to overlay full-color, 3D moving images on the ...

(Nanowerk News) In daily life, when two objects are “indistinguishable,” it’s due to an imperfect state of knowledge. As a street magician scrambles the cups and balls, you could, in principle, keep ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope may have detected atmospheric gases surrounding 55 Cancri e, a hot rocky exoplanet 41 light-years from Earth. This is the best ...

(Nanowerk News) Since the discovery of quantum mechanics more than a hundred years ago, it has been known that electrons in molecules can be coupled to the motion of the atoms that make up the ...

(Nanowerk News) When old food packaging, discarded children’s toys and other mismanaged plastic waste break down into microplastics, they become even harder to clean up from oceans and waterways.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Artificial intelligence has rapidly progressed in recent years, transforming fields from healthcare to finance to transportation. AI systems can now match or exceed human-level ...

An ultra-short laser pulse (blue) excites plasmonic gold nanorods, which leads to characteristic changes in the transmitted electric field (yellow). Sampling this field permits to infer the plasmonic ...

The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) announced that a team of researchers led by Senior Researcher Sang-Youp Yim of the Advanced Photonics Research Institute and collaborators from ...

In this picture, researchers summarize the commonly used methods for adjusting the Schottky barrier, including the work function of the metals, interface gap states, image lowering effect, external ...

(Nanowerk News) Finding reliable, eco-friendly power sources is crucial as our world grapples with increasing energy needs and the urgent call to combat climate change. Solar energy offers one ...
