A new approach (and a smaller laser) lets scientists shrink laser-induced graphene for flexible electronics.

Threading tellurium atomic chains through boron nitride nanotubes shows promise for future wearable technology.

A new tool lets researchers analyze influenza A without killing cells, which means they can get snapshots of viral replication as it happens.

Using magnetic levitation to split up different proteins in blood plasma could be a way to diagnose opioids or even cancer.

A new nanoparticle can seek out plaques that cause heart attacks and eat them from the inside out. The discovery could lead to new atherosclerosis treatment.

A new method turns just about any kind of carbon-based trash, from banana peels to coffee grounds, into "flash graphene" to make building materials greener.

An artificial photosynthesis panel could use sunlight and water to convert carbon dioxide from smokestacks into usable "green methane."

A new nano-sized sensor can measure the stresses and strains of materials at high pressures to see when they fail and hunt for new states of matter.

The polymer has many potential uses, including powering pacemakers without needing new batteries and keeping street lights on with energy from passing cars.

Perovskite nanocrystals hold promise for improving lasers, LEDs, and more—but durability is a problem. Plastic "hair" and a silica shell may change that.
