TeYu Chien, a UW assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, uses a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope in his lab to observe nanomaterials. Chien is the lead author of a ...

Cellulose nanomaterials, derived from abundant renewable biomass, have attracted considerable attention owing to their exceptional mechanical properties and sustainability credentials. At the ...

Extensive research on various nanomaterials during the past several years has revealed that many materials behave differently on the nanoscale than on the "macroscale." Researchers from Johns Hopkins ...

Ultimate composite strength is highly dependent on interfacial interactions between the filler material and matrix. Nanomaterials are getting continued interest as reinforcement materials in composite ...

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

Classical computations rely on binary bits, which can be in either of the two states, 0 or 1. In contrast, quantum computing is based on qubits, which can be 0, 1, or a superposition or entanglement ...
