When water is trapped in narrow, nanoscale cavities, it enters an intermediate phase that is neither solid nor liquid, but somewhere in between. This...
Through an explosive technique, researchers in Japan have produced the smallest nanodiamonds to date, capable of probing microscopic temperature differences in their surrounding environments....
“Structurally colouring” carbon nanotubes with an amorphous layer of titanium dioxide not only makes them easier on the eye, it also makes them flame-resistant....
Materials that switch from one phase to another when illuminated by light with different polarizations could form a platform for ultrafast photonic computing and...
A sensing technique that can precisely detect the release and diffusion of dopamine from individual neuron release sites has been developed by researchers in...
Researchers have fabricated ultrathin semiconductor-superconductor hybrid nanowires measuring less than 20 nm across. Such wires are thinner than those grown previously and are predicted...

A new paper-based semiconductor could herald the advent...
A recently discovered metal organic framework can act as a “quantum sieve”, with pores that selectively open for deuterium molecules at the right temperatures...
A simple colour change could indicate the presence of potentially hazardous hydrogen gas thanks to a new sensor developed by researchers in Germany. The...
