Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have created the largest defect-free membranes reported to date that fully exploit the unique mass transport properties of carbon nanotubes as flow channels. To reap the most benefits of these extraordinary materials, maximizing the density of open carbon nanotubes across the membrane is critical. There are 10 times more conductive nanotubes in these large-area membranes than previously achieved.

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a method to fabricate a one-dimensional array of individual molecules and to precisely control its electronic structure. By carefully tuning the voltage applied to a chain of molecules embedded in a one-dimensional carbon (graphene) layer, they found they could control whether all, none, or some of the molecules carry an electric charge. This technique could lead to new designs for nanoscale electronic components including transistors and logic gates.

A team of Purdue University researchers has demonstrated light transport-assisted information processing by creating a pearl spectrometer. This discovery could lead to the design of disordered nanostructures of Anderson light localization to develop a new class of spectral information processing machine.

Researchers at Cornell University and Columbia University have developed a way to stack two-dimensional semiconductors and trap electrons in a repeating pattern that forms a specific and long-hypothesized crystal. The team also devised a new optical sensing technique that enabled them to observe numerous electron crystals with different crystal symmetries.
