Experiments reveal that water can “talk” to electrons in graphene

Results could lead to applications in water purification and desalination processes and maybe even to liquid-based computers

27-Jun-2023 - Water and carbon make a quantum couple: the flow of water on a carbon surface is governed by an unusual phenomenon dubbed quantum friction.A work published in ‘Nature Nanotechnology’ experimentally demonstrates this phenomenon – which was predicted in a previous theoretical study— at the ...

Carving at the nanoscale

Researchers have successfully demonstrated a new method for producing a wide variety of complex hollow nanoparticles

12-Dec-2011 - A common theme in nanoscience research is the recycling of "old" processes and protocols that were once applied crudely on bulk materials in trades and industrial settings, but which can now be applied to nano-sized structures with high precision and resolution using newly available instruments ...
