A research team led by Profs. BAO Xinhe and GAO Dunfeng from the Dalian Instituteof Chemical Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a novel strategy fordirect electrocatalytic ...

Swapping a single atom can fine-tune the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions without affecting their electrical ...

Control of heat transport in nanostructures is of central importance for numerous modern technologies—from high-performance ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...

Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in solid supports as well as their spatial orientation. In the future, this ...

Chiral nanomaterials have great potential for enhancing clinical therapeutic efficacy, attributed to the distinctive chiral selectivity in biosystems. Herein, we designed chiral iron single-atom ...

Scientists show how a single atom can precisely control heat flow in molecules, opening new paths for efficient ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

Researchers have created a cutting-edge catalyst that turns CO2 into methanol more efficiently than ever before. Instead of using clumps of metal atoms, they engineered a system where each single ...

According to a study published in Nature Communications, a research team led by Associate Professor Jiong Lu from the Department of Chemistry at the National University of Singapore devised an ...
