When periodic arrays of metallic nanostructures are illuminated with light, each of the nanoparticles produces a strong response, which, in turn, results in enormous collective behaviors if all of the particles can interact. Scientists at The University of New Mexico have found that decreasing the density of nanoparticles in the array produces field enhancements that are not only larger, but extend farther away from the array.
A team of researchers has found a new way to produce a polymer material called PBO, a product known commercially as Zylon that's used in bulletproof vests and other high-performance fabrics. The new approach could be useful in making PBO products that resist degradation, a problem that has plagued PBO-based materials in the past.

Rice University scientists have transformed their laser-induced graphene into self-sterilizing filters that grab pathogens out of the air and kill them with small pulses of electricity. The flexible filter may be of special interest to hospitals.

Research led by University of Texas at Dallas physicists has altered the understanding of the fundamental properties of perovskite crystals, a class of materials with great potential as solar cells and light emitters. In particular, the study presents evidence questioning existing models of the behavior of perovskites on the quantum level.

Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and The Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a nanoscale 3-D printing technique that can fabricate tiny structures 1000 times faster than conventional two-photon lithography techniques, without sacrificing resolution.
