This Review covers the recent developments in the observation and modelling of magnetic skyrmions, including their topological properties, current-induced dynamics and potential in future information storage devices.
This Review discusses the state-of-the-art in optical trapping at the nanoscale, with an emphasis on some of the most promising advances such as controlled manipulation and assembly of individual and multiple nanostructures, force measurement with femtonewton resolution, and biosensors.
This Review examines recent advances in the use of micro- and nanoscale devices for studying epigenetic modifications, including covalent DNA modifications, differences in histone proteins and higher-order chromatin structures.
Advances in the understanding of Raman processes in graphene have made it an essential tool for studying the properties of this one-atom-thick carbon material.
This Review describes recent approaches that merge extracellular microelectrode arrays with intracellular microelectrodes for studying neuronal circuit connectivity.
