Magnetic nanoparticles may explain why artificial joints fail
An NSF-funded study embeds nanoparticles into artificial joints to study degradation and wear and potentially curb the need for replacement surgeries.
Circuits on Cellulose
Paper electronics could pave the way to a new generation of cheap, flexible gadgets
Nanoparticles digging the world's smallest tunnels
Researchers dug tiny tunnels into graphite samples and created nanoporous graphite for potential use in medical applications and battery technology.
A new level of control over liquid crystals
Directed assembly is where scientists aim to manufacture nanostructures without individually manipulating each component. Instead, they set out precisely defined starting conditions and let the physics and chemistry do the rest.
World's smallest magnet made of only five iron atoms
The peculiar properties of magnets have found their way into a vast number of technologies ranging from information technology to medical imaging.
