Peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing research on nanoscale materials, devices, and technologies across physics, chemistry, and biology.
Researchers led by DGIST's Jiwoong Yang patterned stretchable quantum-dot pixels at up to 16,000 per inch, and their device kept working at about 65% strain. The team expects pixels that hold image quality under strain to widen the commercial prospects of skin-like screens.

University of Pennsylvania physicists entangled four qubits in a diamond defect within 14.8 microseconds, ten times faster than pairwise gates. Run at room temperature, the parallel gate was also more accurate than the step-by-step version.

By growing the optical nonlinearity in semiconductor layers, an Austrian and US team made the working wavelength a design choice. Getting any output at all required a small deliberate misalignment.

A two-step method prefabricates electrodes with standard chip processes, then lets capillary forces close them onto a sub-nanometre molecular layer. The scarce commodity here is device count.

A Nankai University and Hebei University of Technology team reports in Nature Nanotechnology a ferritin-gold hybrid built to take apart existing amyloid deposits. The outcome data on offer is thin.
