Nov 15, 2019 (Nanowerk News) A newly discovered phenomenon in a flexible semiconductor could affect its promise for electronic devices. Two-dimensional materials – those either only an atom or layer thick – display a number of interesting properties and could form the foundation for a range of new devices. One...

Chemists map an artificial molecular self-assembly pathway with complexities of life
Nov 15, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Two pathways diverged in a chemical synthesis, and one molecule took them both. Chemists at the University of Tokyo have studied how molecular building blocks can either form a spherical cage or an ultrathin sheet that shows some of the basic properties of a "smart"...
Scientists discover how the molecule-sorting station in our cells is formed and maintained
Nov 15, 2019 (Nanowerk News) The cells in our body are workshops that continuously operate to produce and process substances to keep us going. When a substance enters a cell for processing, it is surrounded by a portion of the cell's outer membrane to form a sac. The sac then...

Storing energy in hydrogen 20 times more effective using platinum-nickel nanocatalyst
Nov 15, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions, but the widely used metal platinum is scarce and expensive. Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), together with Chinese, Singaporean and Japanese researchers, have now developed an alternative with a 20x higher activity: a catalyst with hollow nanocages of an...

Super-strong magnetic supercrystals can assemble themselves
Nov 14, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Verner Hkonsen works with cubes so tiny that nearly 5 billion of them could fit on a pinhead. He cooks up the cubes in the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's (NTNU) NanoLab, in a weird-looking glass flask with three necks on the top using...
