Swapping a single atom can fine-tune the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions without affecting their electrical ...

3D printing by painting with light beams on a vat of liquid plastic was once the stuff of science fiction, but now is very much science-fact. More than that, it’s consumer-level technology that we’re ...

Solar-power photocatalysis—turning sunlight into energy—holds promise for sustainable and cost-efficient energy and chemical ...

When created at the nanoscale, materials can resemble shapes like stars, rods or even pyramids. These particle shapes, also ...

New research is shedding light on one barrier to a clean energy future: corrosion. Using nanoscale imaging techniques, researchers have captured high-resolution videos of tiny crystals of ruthenium ...

International research team presents new imaging technique to make lipids in cellular membranes visible and show how they are organized at the nanoscale.

When designing materials and structures at the nanoscale, it is important to be able to characterize and measure them. Getting tools to measure on these very small length scales can be challenging as ...

Dean and Professor of Engineering Tejal Desai ’94 was one of 449 scientists and engineers elected as fellows of the American ...

In a basement room at Austria's University of Graz sits a jumble of steel tanks and ice-encrusted tubes. The contraption, a scanning tunneling microscope, can snap pictures of individual atoms and ...
