The new tool brings together electron and light microscope technology so scientists can see reactions that are happening inside single nanoparticles.

The epoxy compound, far more conductive than other epoxy composites, could be useful in materials for aerospace structures and tennis rackets.

The sensor film will be able to tell engineers exactly where stress or strain is affecting structures like bridges, airplane bodies, or pipelines.

A new therapy that relies on a moth-infecting virus and nanomagnets could repair genes that cause diseases like cystic fibrosis and sickle cell.

Varying the spacing between nanotwin boundaries at the atomic level produces dramatic improvements in a metal's strength.

Nanostraws could be a way to deliver molecules into many cells at once, which may one day improve gene therapy for cancer and other diseases.

"One of the ways to slow dendrites in lithium-ion batteries is to limit how fast they charge. People don't like that."

The new method uses a red glow to screen hundreds of nanoparticles at once to find which could best deliver drugs into living cells.
