Scientists have shown that cube-shaped nanoparticles, or nanocubes, coated with single-stranded DNA chains assemble into an unusual “zigzag” arrangement that has never been observed before at the nanoscale or macroscale.

Researchers have created a novel dielectric material that could help manufacturers who are working on creating next-generation flexible electronics. Dielectrics are the polarized insulators in batteries and other devices that separate positive and negative electrodes. The most common dielectrics contain brittle metal oxides and are less adaptable as devices shrink or get more flexible, but the newly developed dielectric is, surprisingly, flexible.

Scientists have developed a method that can reposition atoms with a highly focused electron beam and control their exact location and bonding orientation. The advance, which uses nanotechnology tools, could ultimately lead to new ways of making quantum computing devices or sensors.

Researchers have invented a nanocomposite that promises to be a superior high-temperature dielectric material for flexible electronics, energy storage and electric devices. The nanocomposite combines one-dimensional polymer nanofibers and two-dimensional boron nitride nanosheets.
