Research conducted at Harvard University has helped to develop a new method for casting 3D custom-shaped metal nanoparticles using DNA as construction moulds.
Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed a new type of optical switch using gold nanoparticles and ultra-thin glass fibres. They utilized the property of spin-orbit coupling of light which enables light to be directed in a single direction.
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered that crumpled graphene could help in the development of stretchable supercapacitors for energy storage in flexible electronic devices.

Researchers at Rice University have combined graphene quantum dots (GQD) with graphene oxide sheets and created a hybrid material that could help reduce the cost of energy generation using fuel cells. Previously, GQDs had been created from coal by chemist James Tour’s lab. These GQDs could grasp onto graphene platelets very strongly.
Harvard University researchers have explained a new method of applying ultra-thin coatings over a coarse surface based on the optical phenomena - thin-film interference. This work is considered to be a promising technology for future applications including next-generation spacecrafts with thin decorative logos, rocket ships, advanced solar cells, and flexible electronic devices. The work is published in Applied Physics Letters journal.
Researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University, have demonstrated graphene deposition at a low temperature of 400°C, which was made possible using the PICOPLASMA™ remote plasma source system from Picosun Oy, a renowned atomic layer deposition (ALD) system manufacturer.
Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington have developed a new method for creating transparent nanoscintillators for detection of radiation. They heated lanthanum, yttrium and oxygen nanoparticles together till they formed a transparent ceramic. This material demonstrated better energy resolution.
Researchers at the Beijing Key Laboratory of CryoBiomedical Engineering described a new 3D printing method using low melting metal alloy ink. The melting point of the alloy is slightly more than the room temperature. This liquid-phase printing technique is suitable for the manufacture of a conductive metal product in various dimensions. Unlike the traditional 3D printing, the liquid-phase printing technique is devoid of the air cooling process that results in oxidation of the metal.
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have used a rapid gene sequencing technique to measure nanoscopic structures. Using a technique known as a ‘nanopore translocation’, nanoscale rods and spheres were passed through a very small hole in a thin membrane in order to determine the surface electrical properties of the structures.
