Highly ordered nanopatterns spontaneously form on the surface of alloys as the metal solidifies. This process, which is very different from those that occur...
A nanodiamond-based sensor that measures the thermal conductivity of living cells at subcellular resolution could help researchers better understand how organisms generate and control...
Fluorescent carbon quantum dots have been used to determine when fresh mackerel have spoiled. The low-cost, selective and highly sensitive technique was developed by...
"An illustration of the chain-reaction process that underlies the photon avalanching mechanism Columbia Engineering researchers have realized in their nanoparticles. In this process, the...
Why do some thin films of single-wall carbon nanotubes take on colourful hues even though as-synthesized films are usually black? A team of researchers...
