Dec 26, 2025 Researchers created carbon nanotubes that emit one photon from a single controllable point, enabling temperature quantum light sources for telecom use. (Nanowerk News) Carbon nanotubes that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner by RIKEN researchers (Nano...
Nanosensors reveal if immunotherapy is working days before tumors respond
Dec 26, 2025 Gold nanoparticles that cluster in response to T cell enzymes can predict cancer immunotherapy success days before tumors begin to shrink. (Nanowerk Spotlight) When engineered immune cells attack a tumor, they leave behind a chemical signature: an enzyme called granzyme B. Detecting that signature inside a living...
Streamlining the production of green hydrogen
Dec 26, 2025 New study shows how complexing agents and predictive models can improve nickel electroplating for alkaline water electrolysis, reducing waste and cost. (Nanowerk News) Hydrogen has been proposed as an alternative to fossil fuels, for example in the shipping and aviation industries. However, the production of hydrogen is...
Scientists bottle sunlight and use it hours later to produce hydrogen in the dark
Dec 26, 2025 Two inexpensive commercial materials store solar energy as electrons and release hydrogen fuel on demand in darkness, requiring no external power and setting a new performance record. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Imagine a truck arriving at a factory in northern Norway during the polar night. It carries no compressed...
