Nano–soft hybrid materials combine the structural precision of nanotechnology with the adaptability of soft matter such as liquid crystals.

Researchers working with nanotech have created what may be a super-waterproof material that causes the liquid to slide right off the surface with very little friction. Further, additional research ...

Two-dimensional material-based transistors are being extensively investigated for CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology extension; nevertheless, downscaling appears to be ...

Nanotechnology researchers have built the darkest material ever made by man. The material, a thin carpet of tiny hollow tubes of pure carbon vertically aligned like packaged spaghetti, absorbs more ...

Delft-based VSParticle has raised €6.5mn to accelerate material discovery for industrial solutions, such as the production of green hydrogen. Discovering new materials in the lab typically takes years ...

We're all used to water-repellent materials nowadays, and it's no surprise to see droplets running off special cloth without wetting it. The technology has, however, only worked for cold water. Until ...

The fields of manufacturing and precision engineering have advanced significantly with the adoption of nanotechnology. The molecular-level precision it offers, alongside innovations in materials ...
