Researchers have reported fabricating atom-thin processors, a discovery that could have far-reaching impacts on nanoscale chip production. They have shown that lithography using a probe heated above 100o C outperformed standard methods for fabricating metal electrodes on 2D semiconductors such as molybdenum disulfide—a material that scientists believe may supplant silicon for atomically small chips.
Researchers have created a drug delivery system that could radically expand cancer treatment options.

Researchers have developed a cheap and effective catalyst that can generate hydrogen fuel from water as efficiently as platinum, currently the best — but also most expensive — water-splitting catalyst. The new catalyst, which is composed of nanometer-thin sheets of metal carbide, is manufactured using a self-assembly process that relies on a surprising ingredient: gelatin, the material that gives Jell-O its jiggle.

Researchers have come up with a new way to build nanoscale structures using an innovative "shrinking" technique. The new method uses equipment many laboratories already have and is relatively straightforward, so it could make nanoscale fabrication more accessible.

Engineers have found a cost-effective way to make thin, durable heating patches by using intense pulses of light to fuse tiny silver wires with polyester. Their heating performance is nearly 70 percent higher than similar patches created by other researchers.
