Engineers have developed a way to not only manage heat but help route it away from delicate devices through a thermal transistor—a nanoscale switch that can conduct heat away from electronic components and insulate them against its damaging effects.
Researchers have demonstrated that recently developed liquid-gated membranes filter nanoclay particles out of water more efficiently than existing membranes and require less frequent replacement and less energy to operate, a solution that could reduce the cost and electricity consumption of high-impact industrial processes, such as oil and gas drilling.

Researchers have devised a new technique for treating and preventing acute kidney injury. The technique involves the use of tiny, self-assembling structures measuring just billionths of a meter in diameter.

Researchers have used an electron microscope to produce and witness a chemical reaction induced by visible light in a nanocube of palladium roughly the size of a cold virus. This technique, which melds the resolution of electron microscopy with the color of light microscopy, could someday be used to study almost any interaction of light and matter with a resolution of about 2 nanometers, even those that occur in living cells.

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its partners in the Nanoelectronic Computing Research (nCORE) consortium have awarded funding for a new research center to focus on novel materials for advanced computing systems. The new center will be led by and housed at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
