Researchers have developed a new, single molecule test for detecting methylated DNA. Methylation — the addition of a methyl group of molecules to a DNA strand — is one of the ways gene expression is regulated.

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman’s famous double-slit thought-experiment — a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave — has been followed in full for the very first time.

A numerical simulation predicts the behavior of a component that controls light for faster computing.

Researchers have developed a new technique for creating stronger, lightweight magnesium alloys that have potential structural applications in the automobile and aerospace industries.

Ultrafast supercomputers that operate at speeds 100 times faster than current systems are now one step closer to reality. Researchers have found a way to transmit massive amounts of data with unprecedentedly low power consumption.

Slender bacterial nanowires require certain key amino acids in order to conduct electricity, according to a new study.

A new X-ray imaging technique yields unprecedented measurements of nanoscale structures ranging from superconductors to solar cells.

A new breakthrough could push the limits of the miniaturization of electronic components further than previously thought possible. Researchers have built a nanometric transistor that displays exceptional properties for a device of its size. To achieve this result, the researchers developed a novel three-dimensional architecture consisting of a vertical nanowire array whose conductivity is controlled by a gate measuring only 14 nm in length.

Scientists have developed high-performance organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on single-crystalline n-channel organic nanowires.

Researchers report that they have measured the chemical properties of polymer nanostructures as small as 15 nm, using a novel technique called atomic force microscope infrared spectroscopy.
