Sheets of carbon nanotubes come in a rainbow of colors
A new model helped researchers create a “nanotube color atlas”, which they use to predict the specific colors of 466 different single‐wall carbon nanotubes, revealing a broad spectrum of potentially achievable colors.
Magnetic bacteria for drug delivery
Bacteria controlled by magnets could one day deliver medicine directly to the cells that need it.
Detecting gamma rays with giant perovskite crystals
The process of detecting gamma rays causes serious damage to those detectors. Researchers have developed a large, self-healing crystal that might help to solve this problem.
Artificial chemist 2.0
AI and robotics meet fluidics to accelerate materials development, allowing researchers to create quantum dots in under an hour.
Quantum simulator poised to be major breakthrough in quantum technology
Researchers create a quantum nanochip that is capable of producing stable, high-quality qubits and could open doors for powerful quantum computers.
Microgel system for souped-up protein synthesis
A temperature-responsive, porous hydrogel enables more efficient and sustained protein synthesis.
Researchers claim quantum supremacy with new light-based quantum computer
The quantum computer named Jiuzhang was able to complete a task 100 trillion times faster than one of the world’s fastest super computers.
A magnetically controlled hydrogel for octopus-like robots
A gelatin-based hydrogel allows researchers to create a flexible, remote controlled robot capable of squeezing through tight spaces.
