Microscopic pipes, two million times smaller than an ant, could one day funnel drugs to individual human cells without fear of leaking.

Adding tiny bits of chitin—about 1,000 times smaller than a human hair—from waste shrimp shells to cement paste made the material up to 40% stronger.

A shapeshifting swarm of tiny robots could one day brush, rinse, and floss your teeth, say researchers.

A new technique uses magnetic fields to align gold nanorods while preserving their underlying optical properties, report researchers.

New models show the unique properties that result from stressing 2D materials with contoured substrates.

Visible light activates nanoscale drills that could eventually fight drug-resistant bacteria.

Nanoparticle drugs, or nanobiotics, could one day treat infections that antibiotics can't. Machine learning gets this vision a step closer.

A new "self-driving" lab could let researchers study metal halide perovskite nanocrystals and a broad array of semiconductor and metallic nanomaterials.

Removing "hairs" from nanocrystals is an advance toward making them function together electronically, researchers report.

Terahertz light creates twisting vibrations in biomolecules such as proteins, a technique that could test drugs for safety.
