Researchers have used an electron microscope to produce and witness a chemical reaction induced by visible light in a nanocube of palladium roughly the size of a cold virus. This technique, which melds the resolution of electron microscopy with the color of light microscopy, could someday be used to study almost any interaction of light and matter with a resolution of about 2 nanometers, even those that occur in living cells.
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its partners in the Nanoelectronic Computing Research (nCORE) consortium have awarded funding for a new research center to focus on novel materials for advanced computing systems. The new center will be led by and housed at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.

Generating complex transition-metal dichalcogenides (TDMCs) is essential for the future development of new generations of quantum, electronic, and energy conversion materials. But doing so is challenging. To address this challenge, scientists have come up with a process to combine different types of TMDCs to form 3D-heterostructured architectures, which is unprecedented.

Researchers have discovered how to extend the useful life of "superalloys" by thousands of hours. The discovery could improve materials performance for electrical generators and nuclear reactors.
Researchers have shown that MXene materials could remove urea from blood in wearable artificial kidney applications.
