Research led by University of Texas at Dallas physicists has altered the understanding of the fundamental properties of perovskite crystals, a class of materials with great potential as solar cells and light emitters. In particular, the study presents evidence questioning existing models of the behavior of perovskites on the quantum level.
Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and The Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a nanoscale 3-D printing technique that can fabricate tiny structures 1000 times faster than conventional two-photon lithography techniques, without sacrificing resolution.

A variety of two-dimensional materials quickly degrade when exposed to oxygen and water vapor, and the protective coatings developed thus far are expensive and toxic and cannot be taken off. Now, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and elsewhere has developed an ultrathin coating that is inexpensive, simple to apply, and can be removed by applying certain acids.

A team of scientists from the University of Vermont, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, the Ames Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles, has made the strongest silver ever — 42 percent stronger than the previous world record. It's part of a discovery of a new mechanism at the nanoscale that can create metals stronger than any ever made before — while not losing electrical conductivity.

Electrical engineers at Duke University have devised a fully print-in-place technique for electronics that uses carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires and is gentle enough to work on delicate surfaces, including paper and human skin. The advance could enable high-adhesion, embedded electronic tattoos and bandages tricked out with patient-specific biosensors.
