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.

Scientists at The University of Texas at Dallas have described how the ability of twisted bilayer graphene to conduct electrical current changes in response to mid-infrared light. When the graphene layers are misaligned, a new periodic design in the mesh emerges, so the scientists determined how mid-infrared light affected the conductance of electrons in this new periodic design.

Mimicking the structure of the kidney, scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Illinois at Chicago have created a three-dimensional nanometer-thin membrane composed of two 3D interconnected channels, which are separated by a nanometer-thin porous titanium oxide layer. This unique biomimetic 3D architecture dramatically increases the surface area, and thus the filtration area, by 6,000 times, coupled with an ultra-short diffusion distance through the 2–4 nanometer-thin selective layer.
