Twisted light separates nanoparticles by size in real time

"Going with the flow: diagram showing the optofluidic force induction (OF2i) scheme. Liquid containing nanoparticles flows from left to right in a microfluidic channel,...

Through an explosive technique, researchers in Japan have produced the smallest nanodiamonds to date, capable of probing microscopic temperature differences in their surrounding environments....

Light restores charge to slippery surfaces

A super-slippery material that can efficiently generate surface charges when illuminated could pave the way for next-generation interfacial materials and microfluidics. The new material...

Colourful nanotubes become flame-resistant

"Artist impression of the coloured nanotubes. (Courtesy: R Zhang)" “Structurally colouring” carbon nanotubes with an amorphous layer of titanium dioxide not only makes them easier...

Polarization switch makes ultrafast photonic computer

Materials that switch from one phase to another when illuminated by light with different polarizations could form a platform for ultrafast photonic computing and...

Are We Heading to a Zero Plastic Future?

One might ask, what with the multitude of global plastics pacts and regulations on reducing and eliminating plastics, are we heading to a zero...
