Engineers have made thin polymer films that conduct heat – an ability normally associated with metals. They found that the films, which are thinner than plastic wrap, conduct heat better than many metals, including steel and ceramic. These results may spur the development of polymer insulators as lightweight, flexible, and corrosion-resistant alternatives to traditional metal heat conductors.

Scientists have invented a new "synthetic antibody" that could make screening for diseases easier and less expensive than current go-to methods. Such “synthetic antibodies” consist of the combination of synthetically produced molecules that are similar to peptides and tiny cylinders of carbon atoms called single-walled carbon nanotubes.

Scientists have discovered that graphene quantum dots drawn from common coal may be the basis for an effective antioxidant for people who suffer traumatic brain injuries, strokes, or heart attacks. Quantum dots are semiconducting materials small enough to exhibit properties that only appear at the nanoscale.

Researchers have 3D-printed an all-liquid device that, with the click of a button, can be repeatedly reconfigured on demand to serve a wide range of applications – from making battery materials to screening drug candidates.
