Artificial Forest for Solar Water-Splitting: First Fully Integrated Artificial Photosynthesis Nanosystem
May 16, 2013 Researchers have created the first fully integrated artificial photosynthesis nanosystem. While "artificial leaf" is the popular term for such a system, the key to this success was an "artificial ... > full story -
Beautiful 'Flowers' Self-Assemble in a Beaker
May 16, 2013 With the hand of nature trained on a beaker of chemical fluid, the most delicate flower structures have been formed in a laboratory -- and not at the scale of inches, but microns. These minuscule ... > full story -
DNA-Guided Assembly Yields Novel Ribbon-Like Nanostructures
May 16, 2013 DNA "linker" strands coax nano-sized rods to line up in way unlike any other spontaneous arrangement of rod-shaped objects. The arrangement -- with the rods forming "rungs" on ladder-like ribbons -- ... > full story -
New Insights Into How Materials Transfer Heat Could Lead to Improved Electronics
May 16, 2013 Researchers have published new insights into how materials transfer heat, which could lead eventually to smaller, more powerful electronic ... > full story -
Carbon in a Twirl: The Science Behind a Self-Assembled Nano-Carbon Helix
May 16, 2013 Nanotechnology draws on the fabrication of nanostructures. Scientists have now succeeded in growing a unique carbon structure at the nanoscale that resembles a tiny twirled mustache. Their method ... > full story -
Observation of Second Sound in a Quantum Gas
May 15, 2013 Second sound is a quantum mechanical phenomenon, which has been observed only in superfluid helium. Physicists have now proven the propagation of such a temperature wave in a quantum ... > full story -
Squishy Hydrogels May Be the Ticket for Studying Biological Effects of Nanoparticles
May 15, 2013 A class of water-loving, jelly-like materials with uses ranges ranging from the mundane, such as superabsorbent diaper liners, to the sophisticated, such as soft contact lenses, could be tapped for a ... > full story
