In a paper published in 2019, Jiang et al. implemented an approach to ultrafast nanospectroscopy of 2D materials using nanofocusing of femtosecond pulses on a plasmonic waveguide scanning probe tip. In broadband four-wave mixing (FWM) this allowed for imaging the nonlinear response and coherent electron dynamics in graphene with simultaneous nanometre spatial and femtosecond temporal resolution (T

Adopting a nanoscale approach to developing materials and designing experiments benefits research on batteries, supercapacitors and hybrid devices at all technology readiness levels.

Additionally, reducing the thickness of halide perovskites can enhance the binding energy of excitons, resulting in strong amplification of light emission, even at high temperatures. In particular, 2D halide perovskite-based lasers show improved luminescence efficiency, enhanced stability and, thanks to their layered nature, a wide range of chemical versatility. A pioneering work (Y. Liang et al. Adv

As researchers, developers, policymakers and others grapple with navigating socially beneficial advanced technology transitions — especially those associated with artificial intelligence, DNA-based technologies, and quantum technologies — there are valuable lessons to be drawn from nanotechnology. These lessons underscore an urgent need to foster collaboration, engagement and partnerships across disciplines

The largest nanoscience and nanotechnology conference in the world took place again after a four-year hiatus.

Reducing cancer-related deaths can only happen with a better understanding of cancer biology and the development of improved, new therapeutics and delivery mechanisms. Nearly all cancer research is dependent upon the models being used, the model’s accuracy, and appropriate validation and benchmarking. Here the need for such considerations is discussed in line with the goal of the Cancer Moonshot.
