Scientists have successfully created graphyne, a material that could rival the conductivity of #graphene. Graphene and graphyne are two-dimensional materials made of carbon atoms.

We showcase Asian American and Pacific Islander scientists and engineers, such as Nanshu Lu (University of Texas at Austin), who is using nanotechnology to design wear-and-forgettable biosensors that can monitor a person’s health.

In this podcast episode, Prof. Juan Pablo Giraldo, of the University of California, Riverside, describes optical nanosensors that he and his team have developed and tested to monitor plant health and alleviate plant stress.

Researchers have built an intelligent sensor that can simultaneously detect the intensity, polarization, and wavelength of light. To build their sensing device, the researchers used twisted double bilayer graphene.

Scientists have demonstrated the first-ever electrically tunable photonic metasurface platform. Photonic metasurfaces are artificially engineered nanoscale materials with remarkable optical properties.

Researchers have shown that real and virtual charge carriers can be excited and disentangled in the generation of currents in a gold–graphene–gold heterostructure using ultrafast laser pulses.

The NNI Supplement to the President's 2022 Budget is now available. This document serves as the annual report for the NNI, as called for under the provisions of the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act.
