This unprecedented atomic accuracy may yield the elementary building block for a future quantum computer with unparalleled computational efficiency.

Copper-iodide nanoparticles have long-lasting antiviral activity against the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus, according to a paper in the February issue of the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. 

Chemist Tony Ryan from the University of Sheffield and artist/designer Helen Storey, professor at London Design College, have together created a novel clothing label, Catalytic Clothing.

Simply by touching a small piece of Power Felt – a promising new thermoelectric device developed by a team of researchers in the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials – Corey Hewitt has converted his body heat into an electrical current.

Physicists in Spain and the UK have calculated that graphene – a layer of carbon just one atom thick – could be used to create a perfect absorber of light if it is doped and patterned into a periodic array.

Two independent teams have made ultrathin, carbon-based membranes with extraordinary properties that could be used in a range of applications, from water filtration to petroleum processing.

Scientists from Babes-Bolyai University, Romania, have shown that small ensembles of anisotropic silver nanoparticles trapped within thin films of chitosan operate as excellent plasmonic substrates
