Physicists in the Netherlands say they have succeeded in manipulating the state of a quantum bit (or qubit) by simply adjusting the strength of the technique they used to measure it.

Semiconducting polymer nanoparticles could make excellent photoacoustic contrast agents for molecular imaging in vivo, according to new work by researchers at Stanford University in the US.

Membranes made from the carbon-based material graphene oxide could act as perfect molecular sieves when immersed in water, blocking all molecules or ions with a hydrated size larger than 9 angstroms.

Researchers at the Integrated Nanotechnology Lab at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia say they have come up with a simple and cost-effective way to transform traditional rigid electronics wafers made from silicon into mechanically flexible and transparent ones.

Physicists have succeeded in measuring the sign of the so-called Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction in weak ferromagnets for the first time thanks to a new synchrotron-based experimental technique.

Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg are working on a heat engine that consists of just a single ion

Miniaturized bioelectronic probes stand to transform biology and medicine by allowing measurement of intracellular components in vivo

A new study has found a new method for growing human embryonic stem cells, that doesn’t rely on supporting human or animal cells

A team of researchers has developed a smartphone attachment and application to test water for the presence of mercury, a toxic heavy metal.

Semiconducting π-conjugated polymers are promising materials for applications such as light-emitting diodes, field-effect transistors, photovoltaics and optoelectronics devices thanks to their easily tuneable electrical, optical and magnetic properties.
