Two Canadian students have made the global Top 20 shortlist for the 2026 James Dyson Award, with inventions that could help detect Parkinson’s disease earlier and make respiratory testing less unpleasant. Dyson announced the 20 finalists today, October 14, picking student inventions from around…
Template-free method for nanoporous carbon synthesis developed in this study (top) and a templating method (bottom). EurekAlert! Template-free method for nanoporous carbon synthesis developed in this study (top) and a templating method (bottom). National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and…
A new method pairs magnetic molecularly imprinted extraction with machine learning-assisted FTIR spectroscopy to quantify the illicit dye Sudan I in chili powder within 90 minutes. The authors position the platform as a practical route to high-throughput, lower-cost monitoring of illicit…
Pectin extracted from cocoa husk waste has been cast into biodegradable films that shield ultraviolet light, scavenge free radicals, disintegrate rapidly in soil, and can be regenerated by dissolution and recasting, according to a new study. Petroleum-derived packaging materials are…
Replacing just one atom gives new powers to biocompatible fluorescent molecules, say researchers. The Rice University lab of chemist Han Xiao reports in the Journal of the American Chemical Society that it has developed a single-atom switch to turn fluorescent…
Gold nanowires. Color added. See the original image here. (Credit: Zubarev Research Group/Rice) Some vitamin C helps turn small gold nanorods into fine gold nanowires, report researchers. Common, mild ascorbic acid is the not-so-secret sauce that helped the Rice…
Electric vehicles, powered by macroscopic electric motors, are increasingly prevalent on our streets and highways. These quiet and eco-friendly machines got their start nearly 200 years ago when physicists took the first tiny steps to bring electric motors into the world.
Venkataraman's group has been studying the fundamental properties of single-molecule devices for almost two decades, exploring the interplay of physics, chemistry, and engineering at the nanometer scale. Her underlying focus is on building single-molecule circuits, a molecule attached to two…
As silicon-based electronics approach fundamental limits, researchers are turning to molecules as the smallest possible functional devices. Molecular electronics replaces conventional transistors with individual molecules that control current through quantum effects rather than classical charge flow. Recent progress shows that…
Scientists have long strived to develop artificial molecular motors that can convert energy into directed motion. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have now presented a solution to a... How to shift gears in a molecular motor Scientists have long strived…
