Researchers detail never-before-seen properties in a family of superconducting Kagome metals
Feb 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Dramatic advances in quantum computing, smartphones that only need to be charged once a month, trains that levitate and move at superfast speeds. Technological leaps like these could revolutionize society, but they remain largely out of reach as long as superconductivity — the flow of...

Home > Press > Progress toward fast-charging lithium-metal batteries: By growing uniform lithium crystals on a surprising surface, UC San Diego engineers open a new door to fast-charging lithium-metal batteries In this SEM image, large, uniform crystals of lithium metal grow on a surface that is surprising because it doesn't...
Fighting brain cancer with bioadhesive nanoparticles
Feb 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from Yale and the University of Connecticut (UConn) has developed a nanoparticle-based treatment that targets multiple culprits in glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer. The results are published in Science Advances ("Anti-seed PNAs targeting multiple oncomiRs for...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Scientists boost quantum signals while reducing noise: Squeezing noise over a broad frequency bandwidth in a quantum system could lead to faster and more accurate quantum measurements
Home > Press > Scientists boost quantum signals while reducing noise: Squeezing noise over a broad frequency bandwidth in a quantum system could lead to faster and more accurate quantum measurements This superconducting parametric amplifier can achieve quantum squeezing over much broader bandwidths than other designs, which could lead to...
Carbon emissions from fertilisers could be reduced by as much as 80% by 2050
Feb 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have calculated the carbon footprint for the full life cycle of fertilisers, which are responsible for approximately five percent of total greenhouse gas emissions – the first time this has been accurately quantified – and found that carbon emissions could be reduced to one-fifth...
Elusive transition shows universal quantum signatures
Feb 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) There are stark differences between metals, through which electrons flow freely, and electrical insulators, in which electrons are essentially immobile. And despite the obvious difficulties in finding a way to switch back and forth from a metal to an insulator within one material, physicists are...
