Nov 14, 2025 Scientists have achieved a new level of control over the atomic structure of a family of materials known as halide perovskites, creating a finely tuned 'energy sandwich' that could transform how solar cells, LEDs and lasers are made. (Nanowerk News) Due to their remarkable ability to absorb...

Nov 14, 2025 A water-based plasma method creates stable multimetal nanoparticles with a protective shell that improves light driven carbon dioxide conversion, offering a practical path to efficient carbon transformation. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Efforts to convert carbon dioxide into useful chemicals often run into the same core limitations. The molecule is...

Nov 14, 2025 Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies. (Nanowerk News) Physics is full of pesky limits. There are speed limits, like the speed of light. There are limits on how much matter and energy can...
