Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a ...

Inspired by an artist's stencils, researchers have developed atomic-level precision patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, ...

The 1,2-oxaborine scaffold can be converted into a variety of different aromatic rings with relative ease, enabling chemists to vary molecular cores while keeping the peripheral groups mostly the same ...

A large number of 2D materials like graphene can have nanopores – small holes formed by missing atoms through which foreign substances can pass. The properties of these nanopores dictate many of the ...

Nano-scale snowflake made from zinc. Scientists in New Zealand and Australia working at the level of atoms created something unexpected: Tiny metallic snowflakes. The research aims to study ...
