Jan 28, 2023 (Nanowerk News) The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released its Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0), a guidance document for voluntary use by organizations designing, developing, deploying or using AI systems to help manage the many risks of...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Temperature-sensing building material changes color to save energy
Home > Press > Temperature-sensing building material changes color to save energy The material contains a layer that can take on two conformations: solid copper that retains most infrared heat, which helps keep the building warm; or a watery solution that emits infrared, which can help cool the building. ...
Charge density wave found in magnetic kagome crystal
Jan 28, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Researchers discovered a wave-like charge order in a magnetic material with a “kagome” geometric structure and, with key evidence from the Advanced Light Source (ALS), obtained clues to the order’s origins in the material’s electronic structure. By helping to connect certain structures with emergent quantum...
The protein wears Prada
Jan 28, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Just as wearing a new outfit can cause us to assume a different persona, so a chemical tag “worn” by a protein can make that molecule unrecognizable. An entire wardrobe of tags – called protein modifications, because they modify the protein’s original sequence – helps...

In-place manufacturing method improves graphene foam gas sensor capabilities, production time
Jan 28, 2023 (Nanowerk News) When used as wearable medical devices, stretchy, flexible gas sensors can identify health conditions or issues by detecting oxygen or carbon dioxide levels in the breath or sweat. They also are useful for monitoring air quality in indoor or outdoor environments by detecting gas, biomolecules...
Stability of perovskite solar cells reaches next milestone
Jan 08, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Perovskite semiconductors promise highly efficient and low-cost solar cells. However, the semi-organic material is very sensitive to temperature differences, which can quickly lead to fatigue damage in normal outdoor use. Adding a dipolar polymer compound to the precursor perovskite solution helps to counteract this. This...
