Super-microscopy of nanographenes allows longer observation times
Researchers at Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany, enhanced stimulated emission depletion microscopy by replacing traditional fluorophores with nanographenes, enabling the observation of longer-duration processes, overcoming previous limitations of this type of imaging.
Designing stronger materials by breaking down corrosion
New research from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Calif., aims to tackle the problem of corrosion, which costs trillions of dollars globally. Their solution is to predict failure and design better materials up front.
Twisting 2D materials creates artificial atoms that could advance quantum computers
Researchers at the University of Rochester have discovered that twisting two atom-thick flakes of special materials at high angles reveals unique optical properties, potentially useful for quantum computers and other quantum technologies. By precisely layering these nano-thin materials, they create excitons—artificial atoms that can function as quantum information bits, or qubits. “If we had just […]
