Scientists at Caltech and Northwestern University have shown that thin films of rust can generate electricity when saltwater flows over them. These films represent an entirely new way of generating electricity and could be used to develop new forms of sustainable power production.
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago, in collaboration with their colleagues at the University of Hamburg in Germany, have imaged an exotic quantum particle that can be used as a building block for future qubits and eventually the realization of quantum computers.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) $4.8 million over the next five years to establish a Center for Nanotechnology Research and Education (CNRE) as part of the NSF Center of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) Program. The CNRE’s mission is to utilize UDC faculty’s core expertise in nanotechnology to establish a nationally recognized center of excellence to realize UDC’s goals of supporting student research and professional development.

Rice University theoretical researchers have discovered that nanotubes with segregated sections of “zigzag” and “armchair” facets growing from a solid catalyst are far more energetically stable than a circular arrangement would be.

Stanford physicists have developed a "quantum microphone" so sensitive that it can measure individual particles of sound, called phonons. The device could eventually lead to smaller, more efficient quantum computers that operate by manipulating sound rather than light.

A scientist, a multimedia artist, and a professor of computer music have been combining their expertise to convert x-ray scattering data of nanomaterial structures into sound.
