A new discovery about adhesion at very small scales could pave the way for the engineering of the future.

A new material paves the way for turning ceramic into next-gen sensors that could report on the health of bridges, buildings, and airplanes.

A new process could bring down costs, raise quality, and allow for the mass production of nanochips.

Electrically charged crinkles in the graphene surface are responsible for a strange phenomenon.

Scientists debate how light of one color causes some nanoparticles to emit light of a different color. A new paper argues it's photoluminescence.

Does your phone's short battery life bug you? Static electricity could be coming to the rescue.

An inexpensive, simple method could improve drug delivery, chemical sensors, and fluid pumps by controlling nanoparticles in liquid.

"This is so removed from anything I've ever seen that I would have thought it was impossible."

This lays the groundwork for developing active, form-fitting sensors or devices to use in telecommunication, biosensing, and other applications.

The new lenses, called metalenses, are less than 1/100,000ths of an inch thick and could replace the glass lenses in cameras and imaging systems.
