Researchers from the Nanophotonic Technology Centre (NTC) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) have designed new silicon nanoantennas with direct applications in communication and data processing for the next generation of reconfigurable photonic chips.

Nanogels are extremely versatile and hydrophilic materials that have a wide range of potential applications within the medical field. Research in this area has found that nanogels are particularly useful as therapeutic drug carriers and can also enhance medical diagnostics when used as carriers for novel imaging probes and contrast agents.

Global warming is a serious threat to the planet and living beings. One of the main causes of global warming is the increase in the atmospheric CO2 level. The main source of this CO2 is from the burning of fossil fuels in our daily lives (electricity, vehicles, industry and many more).

Chemists have devised a potentially major improvement to both the speed and durability of smart glass by providing a better understanding of how the glass works at the nanoscale.
