Jun 20, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A new study by Stanford University researchers lights a path forward for building better, safer lithium-metal batteries. Close cousins of the rechargeable lithium-ion cells widely used in portable electronics and electric cars, lithium-metal batteries hold tremendous promise as next-generation energy storage devices. Compared to lithium-ion...

Jun 20, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Blood pressure is one of the most important indicators of heart health, but it’s tough to frequently and reliably measure outside of a clinical setting. For decades, cuff-based devices that constrict around the arm to give a reading have been the gold standard. But now,...

Jun 20, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have developed tiny translucent slides capable of producing two very different images by manipulating the direction in which light travels through them (Nature Photonics, "Asymmetric parametric generation of images with nonlinear dielectric metasurfaces"). As light passes through the...

Jun 20, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A material that has been heralded as the key to producing more efficient next-generation solar panels could soon be ready for mass production, thanks to a new method developed by researchers at the University of Surrey (Advanced Energy Materials, "A Multifaceted Ferrocene Interlayer for Highly...

Jun 20, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) The formation of supramolecular complexes between DNA and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) – both single-walled and multi-walled – has drawn significant attention from researchers ever since the first DNA-wrapped CNTs were synthesized in 2003. These hybrid structures can take advantage of the unique mechanical, electrical, thermal,...
