Dekker et al. review protein sequencing at the single-molecule level, an entirely new technique for which various approaches including sequencing using fluorescence, nanopores and tunnelling currents are discussed.
A proposed list of characterization items aims at improving reproducibility and consistency in experiments reporting the use of nanoengineered materials in biological applications.
This Review discusses the contemporary experimental and theoretical understanding of interlayer excitons in heterobilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides.
Permeation experiments and simulations show that the ion diffusion rate in confinement can be reversibly modulated and significantly enhanced with a potential of less than 0.5 V.
A phase-separated state is observed with single-stranded DNA composed of ‘polymeric’ blocks and exploited to programme the assembly of micrometre-sized all-DNA colloidal particles.
Nanotechnology could make agriculture more efficient and more sustainable, but more systematic understanding of the mechanisms involved is necessary to prove the potential of nano-enabled agrochemicals.
This Perspective provides an overview of the potential of nanotechnology to provide low-cost monitoring of chemicals, microbes and other analytes in drinking water.
Fluorine-rich layers on both anode and cathode protect the electrodes and provide rechargeable lithium metal batteries with high energy density and intrinsic safety.
