Nanoimprinted germanium thin films boast broadband light absorption
Vacuum-ultraviolet photovoltaic device might be used to study interstellar objects
On-chip devices made from intercalated graphene exploit the mechanism of kinetic inductance
New device might be used to record action potentials from multiple neurons as well as electrical signals on the nanoscale – for example, across just one synapse
Researchers have made the first “passive” optical devices from Ti3C2Tx and C60 that allow for one-way transmission of light
The devices, which are based on ferromagnetic helical nanostructures integrated with silver nanoantennas that produce mechanical force in response to light, could find use in applications such as lab-on-a-chip technology, microfluidics and nanoscale assembly
New biomimetic genetically-engineered ligand-targeted nanoplatform shows promise
Graphene’s heaviest cousin shows promise for nanoelectronics, spintronics and potential quantum-computing applications
Devices might be used to make ultra-efficient integrated photonics circuits, in quantum photonics and optical communications
New results could benefit scientists working on developing colloidal formulations with an improved shelf life, lubricants, drug-delivery systems and anti-bacterial surfaces
