Peptides show 2D materials that are barrier-free

2D materials assemble one row at a time to skip the energy barrier

A new nanocomposite anode material can produce lithium-ion batteries that are more suitable for use in large devices such as electric vehicles.

A novel fuel cell catalyst comprising cobalt-platinum alloy nanoparticles on a composite substrate uses much less platinum than current catalysts.

Microfluidic foam generation system for enabling customizable and "wet" foams in tiny amounts

By patterning and then shrinking a polymer scaffold, researchers have come up with a way to fabricate nanoscale, 3D objects of nearly any shape.

Moth helps develop nano-antibiotics

By studying how peptides assemble, researchers have discovered that some materials can avoid the nucleation barrier by growing one row at a time.

Scientists have demonstrated electronic switching in an ultrathin topological material that can carry a charge with nearly zero loss at room temperature.

Due to popular demand, Nano Today is extending the deadline of its annual cover competition.
