1. Outsmarting thermodynamics in self-assembly of nanostructures Researchers have achieved symmetry-breaking in a bulk metamaterial solution for the first time, a critical step game toward achieving new and exciting properties in metamaterials. 2. Chemists gain edge in next-gen energy: Flexible film can catalyze production of hydrogen Scientists have created a flexible film with the ability to catalyze the production of hydrogen or be used for energy storage. 3. Nanotubes could serve as universal scaffolding for cell membrane channels A study suggests that single-wall carbon nanotubes could be used as universal scaffolding to help to replicate the properties of cell membrane channels 4. Research paves way for custom-made catalysts that make vehicles, industrial processes more efficient Atoms react differently, depending on the characteristics of the catalyst that is used, scientists report in a new study, which is a very important step forward in the design of new catalysts with applications in the field of energy. 5. Swiss cheese membrane with adjustable holes The pore size of the smart membranes can be adjusted from the outside, experts report. This is very attractive in applications such as biosensors or chemical analysis.
