New device could study soft matter on the nanoscale
Square-foot quantities of metamaterials made for the first time
All electronic components are on a single chip
Device could be used to detect gases such as hydrogen
Edge-state study could lead to better nanoelectronics
New form of carbon could aid energy storage
New device collects light and converts it into a current
Simulations better explain microscopy images of carbon nanostructures
Insulating state in Bi2Se3 could find applications in spintronics and even quantum computing
New device is smaller and faster than ever
