Press Releases: Research Funded by Agencies Participating in the National Nanotechnology Initiative

Scientists are using nanoparticles to make photodetectors better able to handle the ultraviolet radiation produced in high-energy physics experiments.

Engineers have created a device that dramatically reduces the energy needed to power magnetic field detectors, which could revolutionize how we measure magnetic fields.

Researchers have discovered that molecular motion can be predicted with high accuracy when confining molecules in small nanocages.

Researchers have revealed new insights about the exceptional catalytic properties of ultrasmall gold particles when they are exposed to reactant gas. 

Engineers have developed neutrophil “nanosponges” that can safely absorb and neutralize a variety of proteins that play a role in the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.

Physicists have verified a key prediction from a 55-year-old theory about one-dimensional electronics.

Scientists have shown that Planck’s law does not apply for objects smaller than a certain length scale—and the result is 100 times higher than what the law would predict. 

Scientists have induced a two-dimensional material to cannibalize itself for atomic “building blocks” from which stable structures formed.

Researchers have developed a gel laden with gold nanoparticles that changes color when it reacts with a teardrop containing ascorbic acid, released from a wound to the eye.

Researchers report on the hierarchical 3D printing of nanoporous gold, a proof of concept that researchers say could revolutionize the design of chemical reactors.
