Technologies that rely on interactions between matter and polarized light usually stick to the well-understood effects of linear or circular polarization. Researchers at Rice...
A micron-scale “armour” that protects highly water-repellent nanostructures from damage has been developed by researchers in China and Finland. The new extra-durable coating could...
Computational and theoretical studies of diamond-like carbon nanothreads suggest that they could provide an alternative to batteries by storing energy in a strained mechanical...
Light-emitting nanosensors have been used to measure chemical signals that propagate through living plants in response to damage. Tedrick Lew and Michael Strano at...
The shimmering wings of certain butterfly species are well-known examples of “structural” colour – that is, colour produced by light-scattering nanostructures rather than by...
This short film takes you inside one of Spain’s premier materials science research facilities – the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM). Managed by Spain’s...
