Researchers at the University of Toronto in Canada and Tsinghua University in China have made a solar cell based on n-type colloidal quantum dot “ink”

Researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles in the US and Hunan University in Changsha, China, have come up with a new way to grow 2D-layered semiconductor heterostructures

A new way to grow high-quality, wafer-scale graphene measuring between 100 and 300 mm across has been developed by researchers in the US and UK. The feat is a major advance since a size of 300 mm represents the silicon wafer-scale standard and means that the carbon material might now be easily integrated with silicon – a […]

Functionalized gold nanoparticles could be used to combat multi-drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria according to new experiments by researchers at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The nanoparticles can kill both Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens, including multi-drug-resistant strains while being non-toxic to mammalian cells. The particles do not induce bacterial resistance either – even after 20 generations….. […]

A new type of glucose sensor that works using a magnetically polarizable nanoemulsion could help change the way blood sugar is measured. The new device does not rely on glucose oxidase enzymes, unlike conventional glucometers, but instead simply changes colour when it comes into contact with glucose….. http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/tech/58705 With and without glucose

Understanding how charge carriers (electrons and holes) behave at material interfaces is important for a number of energy-based technology applications such as fuel cells, batteries, electro- and photo-catalysts, and photovoltaic devices. Such applications rely on rapid charge transfer between these boundaries to drive energy-conversion processes. Now, a team of researchers at the University of California […]

Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are the first to have observed strong inter-tube coupling in “incommensurate” double-walled carbon nanotubes
