Nanofabrication methods were used to observe a rare state of matter known as a ‘half-quantum vortex’, which may bring a solution to the decoherence hurdle to quantum computing.
Nanofabricated holograms with lines a few nanomaters apart can twist electron beams and should make possible electron microscopes that will provide better images of nanostructures and may be able to manipulate atoms and electrons.
A significant fraction of small protein sequences designed only to fold into stable structures can substitute for missing natural proteins.
Catalytic nanomotors deliver nanoparticles containing drugs a thousand fold faster than do nanoparticles transported by Browninan motion.
Nanoparticles that deliver two anticancer agents simultaneously kill cancer cells more effectively than nanoparticles delivering the agents separately.
The formation of a supramolecular bilayer is induced by buckyball guest molecules.
Graphene analog of Teflon could lead to ultrafast transistors and high performance materials for aircraft and elsewhere.
Inserting a nanometer-thick insulating layer on graphene enables spin injection into graphene, a step toward spin computers.
High-performance metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes made possibe by controlling quantum mechanical tunneling through an ultrathin insulator could change modern electronics.
Gold nanoparticles carrying nucleic acids into a cell must have the nucleic acids tightly linked via covalent bonds to avoid profound, unanticipated effects on gene expression.
