The response of aluminium to intense high pressures is stiffer than expected
As perfectly crystalline structures go, carbon nanotubes can be remarkably stretchy. A combination of two mechanisms makes their elongation a self-healing process.
The nature of the boundary between water and oil is crucial to many nanometre-scale assembly processes, including protein folding. But until now, what the interface really looks like remained in dispute.
Molecular motors are of limited use unless they are fixed in place on an immobile substrate. That has now been achieved for the first fully synthetic, fully rotating single-molecule rotors.
Nacre is hard to digest for some bone cells
Spectroscopy puts painting in the Renaissance.
Newly developed ultrathin silicon membranes can filter and separate molecules much more effectively than conventional polymer membranes. Many applications, of economic and medical significance, stand to benefit.

Wonder material graphene has been touted as the next silicon, with one major problem it is too conductive to be used in computer chips.
A fabrication method that does not require etching and pattern transfer pushes recording densities in bit-patterned media to 3.3 terabits per square inch.
Today sees the announcement of full details of how an additional £50 million will be spent to keep the UK at the forefront of research into 'wonder material' graphene. Also below are details of further investment strands for graphene engineering and research technology.
Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new method for creating elastic conductors made of carbon nanotubes, which will contribute to large-scale production of the material for use in a new generation of elastic electronic devices.
Collaborative research will advance DNA deposition technologies targeting over $300B market for 'Nanosecurity' applications in nanoelectronics, aerospace and defense.
A discovery by a research team at North Dakota State University, Fargo, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), shows that the flexibility and durability of carbon nanotube films and coatings are intimately linked to their electronic properties.
The Graphene Supermarket operated by Graphene Laboratories Inc has added three new products to their product line, which were launched January 5th 2012 to meet the demand for continuous graphene coatings.
Researchers at Chalmers have for the first time demonstrated a novel subharmonic graphene FET mixer at microwave frequencies.
Vorbeck Materials Corp. announced that it has completed a fully subscribed series 3 financing, which closed December 9, 2011, with a total value of $10 million. Black Powder, LLC and Fairbridge Venture Partners, LP led the round, which included 15 additional investors.
