New technique resolves feature sizes as small as 10 nm, heralding a new era for high-resolution SHXM
Carbon nanotube sheets produced by a start-up company are as good as laboratory prototypes, a result that bodes well for real-world applications such as water desalination and separating gases to make renewable fuels
New measurement scheme has increased the spectral resolution of NMR by 100-fold in volumes comparable to a single cell
New material is also lightweight and strong, and could help make buildings more energy efficient
New experiments could shed more light on how the chemical precursors of life might have been created in the Universe, and in particular in our galaxy
Researchers use additive manufacturing for the first time for anatomically shaped spinal implants
New experimental platform could be used to investigate strongly correlated physics – in particular in unconventional superconductivity and quantum spin liquids
Artificial photoreceptors might help in the development of improved sub-retinal prosthetics that do not require external power sources
New three-terminal element bodes well for DNA electronic circuitry
A new 3D interconnected framework consisting of ceramic nanofillers made using a nanostructured hydrogel template does not aggregate
