I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#Diving into the structure of molten salts in tight spaces” Synchrotron X-ray beam impinging upon ionic liquid molecules confined within a graphitic carbon slit-pore. X-ray scattering in the background reveals new details regarding their structure under nanoconfinement, which were validated by quantum simulations.

“#Researchers explore new depths in infrared nanospectroscopy” llustration of subsurface infrared nanoimaging (nanoGUNE). Credit: Elhuyar Fundazioa Researchers from the Nanooptics Group at CIC nanoGUNE (San Sebastian) demonstrate that nanoscale infrared imaging—which is established as a surface-sensitive technique—can be employed for chemical nanoidentification of materials that are located up to 100 nm below a surface. The…
“#New research finds graphene can act as surfactant” Credit: CC0 Public Domain New research into graphene flakes has discovered that the material can act as a surfactant, for the first time demonstrating how it can be a versatile 2-D stabiliser ideal for many industrial applications from oil extraction to paper processing. Pristine graphene is completely…
“#Working on the frontier of nanoparticle research” Illustration of the University of Pittsburgh’s CANELa lab’s nanocluster modeling that was featured on the cover of the journal Dalton Transactions. Image reproduced with permission of Mpourmpakis and Cowan. Credit: Mpourmpakis and Cowan A field studying something very small is becoming very big: In the last decade, the…
“#Mechanically activated ionic transport across single-digit carbon nanotubes” Credit: The Physics Laboratory of the Ecole Normale Supérieure Nanofluidics, the field which studies nanoscale flows, has made considerable progress in recent years. The field is blossoming thanks to the development of new materials, in particular nanotubes and 2-D materials, which allows fabricating well-controlled nanofluidic devices amenable…
“#Through the nanoscale looking glass: Determining boson peak frequency in ultra-thin alumina” Credit: Martin Cyster There’s more to glass than meets the eye. Glasses, which are disordered materials with no long-range chemical order, have some mysterious properties that have remained enigmatic for several decades. Amongst these are the anomalous vibrational states that contribute to the…
“#Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode display on human skin” The full-color AMOLED display with large-area MoS2-based backplane. (A) Schematic illustration of the high-performance MoS2-based backplane on a 4-inch carrier glass substrate, where an Al2O3 capping layer was applied for n-doping effects on the MoS2 film (top left), an active-matrix full-color display was applied to the ultrathin…
“#A new study unveils the mechanism of the nanoparticle gelation transition” Credit: CC0 Public Domain In a major breakthrough published in Nature Communications, the universal laws which govern the formation of nanostructured materials have been unveiled. Researchers led by Prof. Alessio Zaccone at University of Milan and by Prof. Peter Schall at University of Amsterdam,…
“#Researchers discover new chemistry of 2-D transition metal carbides and carbonitrides” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new finding about the fundamental chemistry of two-dimensional materials called MXenes will change the way researchers work with them, and open up new areas of applications, according to researchers at Missouri S&T. MXenes are ceramics that make up one…
“#Stabilisation of charge density wave phase by interfacial interactions” Figure shows (a) scanning transmission electron microscope measurement of the zigzag edge of a tantalum disulfide (TaS2) flake on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) with the predicted geometric structures calculated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. (b) Large area and zoom-in atomic force microscopy images of 2H-TaS2…
