The resistance through a film of linked metal nanoparticles changes dramatically when it is stretched, suggesting these materials could be used to make highly sensitive strain gauges
Molecules made by grafting branched lipid chains to peptides can self-assemble into bioactive nanostructures that can be used to deliver materials into cells
Hydrogenase enzymes can be electrically connected to single-walled carbon nanotubes to form materials that could have possible applications in biofuel cells
In small volumes of spins, statistical fluctuations can provide a useful basis for imaging, and a study now shows how to let this good noise stand out above the rest
Dendrimer-stabilized Pd nanoparticles are used to catalyse carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions and show increasing activity as their concentration is decreased
