06/13/2016  Electroplated polymer makes transparent, highly conductive, ultra thin film.

06/10/2016  Almost two years after GTAT’s bankruptcy, the sapphire industry is still there. Its decor and characters have, of course, changed but the story is still unfolding.

06/09/2016  EPFL researchers are pushing the limits of perovskite solar cell performance by exploring the best way to grow these crystals.

06/08/2016  UMD researchers develop a new method for pairing nanoscale diamonds with other nano materials.

06/08/2016  A scientist from the Lomonosov Moscow State University studied the types of carbon nanotubes' 'stuffing'.

06/02/2016  Physicists from the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics have already found out that it is possible to manipulate the electronic properties of matter at optical frequencies. In a follow-up experiment the researchers, in a manner similar to their previous approach, shot extremely strong, femtosecond-laser pulses (one femtosecond is a millionth of a billionth of a second) onto silicon dioxide glass.

06/02/2016  The first generation of wearable devices are constructed using mature, rigid technologies put inside a new box that can be worn. These are often bulky devices that are not truly wearable in the sense that our clothes are. This is, however, beginning to change, albeit slowly.
