A blue shift in the surface plasmon resonance of an indium tin oxide layer is observed—and electrically tuned—where a classical description would predict a red shift.
Nanoscale plasma membrane curvature, generated in a controllable fashion by vertically aligned nanostructure arrays, promotes the accumulation of key endocytic proteins in live cells.
A multivalent bi-specific nanoconjugate can promote immune cells to recognize and eradicate cancer cells in a receptor targeted manner, leading to the generation of potent and durable anti-tumour immunity.
The demonstration of energy transfer from hotspots of electroluminescent silver nanoparticles to a two-dimensional crystal overlayer of a transition-metal dichalcogenide provides a tunable, sub-diffraction, electrically driven light source.
Ion permeation and selectivity of graphene oxide membranes with sub-nm channels dramatically alters with the change in interlayer distance due to dehydration effects whereas permeation of water molecules remains largely unaffected.
Air-stable, non-encapsulated Bi2O2Se ultrathin films grown by chemical vapour deposition display high electron mobility and exceptional semiconducting transport properties, making the observation of quantum oscillations possible and suggesting potential applications in electronics.
High-speed absorption of vicious crude oil spill into oil sorbent was realized by introducing the Joule heating effect of graphene to the interface between the skeleton surfaces of sorbent and oil.
In situ characterization of the full reaction pathways of a solid state LiO2 battery shows the formation of hollow nanostructures as a result of the interplay between lithium ion diffusion, electron transport and oxygen gas evolution at the cathode.
A set of independently light-controlled motor and modulator subunits embedded in a polymer gel matrix enables controlled macroscopic expansion and retraction of the material.
A superconducting quantum interferometer is exploited to fully control the direction of the coherent component of the electronic heat current flowing through a temperature-biased Josephson junction.
