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.

We showcase standard reference materials, such as those developed by NIST to enable researchers and manufacturers to check the performance of instruments that measure the electrical charge on microscopic particles and nanoparticles.

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.

We honor Asian American and Pacific Islander scientists and engineers, such as Vinayak Dravid (Northwestern University), whose team has developed a nanotechnology-enabled sponge that could be used to clean up the environment.

In this episode of the “Nano Matters” podcast, Prof. Erin Lavik, of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, describes how she and her team have developed nanoparticles to control internal bleeding resulting from traumatic injuries.

Engineers are developing new membranes for energy-efficient organic separations by rethinking their physical structure on the nanoscale. The structures of these membranes help to minimize the limiting tradeoff between selectivity and permeability.

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.
