Nanoscale superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) fabricated on the apex of a sharp tip can provide spin sensitivities that are nearly two orders of magnitude better than previous SQUID sensors.
Three-dimensional films — comprising polymeric phases of different molecular weights and compositions — are arranged in complex hierarchical patterns and used for wafer-scale patterning.
The chemical properties of a molecular monolayer on the surface of a non-spherical nanoparticle depend on its local curvature; an effect that can be exploited to drive the self-assembly of these nanoparticles into different structures.
Excitonic valley quantum coherence is optically generated and detected by polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in the monolayer semiconductor WSe2.
A precision nanoassembly technique is used to deterministically create locally tunable, ultralow-disorder electron systems in suspended carbon nanotubes.
Spin–orbit torques in heavy metal/ferromagnetic layers have a complex dependence on the magnetization direction. This dependence can be exploited to increase the efficiency of spin–orbit torques.
Computer simulations reveal that graphene nanosheets damage bacteria by penetrating into or extracting phospholipids from the cell membranes, offering new insights into the molecular basis of graphene cytotoxicity.
