Researchers at Oregon State University have devised a new catalyst for the conversion of carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide via electrochemical reduction. The catalyst, which consists of nickel phthalocyanine molecules supported on carbon nanotubes, achieved carbon dioxide conversion performances that are superior to aggregated molecular catalysts in terms of stability, activity, and selectivity.
Researchers at Texas A&M University have used a natural plant product, called cellulose nanocrystals, to pin and coat carbon nanotubes uniformly onto carbon-fiber composites. The researchers said their prescribed method is quicker than conventional methods and also allows the designing of carbon-fiber composites from the nanoscale.

According to research led by scientists at Rutgers University, graphene buckles when cooled while attached to a flat surface, resulting in beautiful pucker patterns. The scientists plan to develop ways to engineer buckled 2D materials with novel electronic and mechanical properties that could be beneficial in nano-robotics and quantum computing.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a method that combines high-precision protein measurement with sticky nanoparticles to capture and analyze a common marker of heart disease and to reveal details that were previously inaccessible. The new method captures and measures various forms of the protein cardiac troponin I, a biomarker of heart damage currently used to help diagnose heart disease.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have gained important new insight into how the performance of a promising semiconducting thin film can be optimized at the nanoscale for renewable energy technologies such as solar fuels.

On Feb. 18, 2020, a team of scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology reported something surprising about a 2-D magnetic material: Behavior that had long been presumed to be due to vibrations in the lattice—the internal structure of the atoms in the material itself—is actually due to a wave of spin oscillations. This week, the same group describes another surprise finding in a different 2-D magnetic material: Behavior presumed to be due to a wave of spin oscillations is actually due to vibrations in the lattice.
