The rapid increase in the world’s population has subsequently increased the demand for food supply. Farmers often lose their agricultural produce due to pathogenic infestations, poor soil conditions, water, and environmental factors. Scientists believe nanobiosensors can play a crucial role in revolutionizing the farming system by determining threats to prevent agricultural loss.
Read moreLiquid crystals (LCs) are optically anisotropic materials, and they are widely used in electro-optical display technology, known as liquid crystal displays (LCDs).

Comets are clusters of frozen gases passing close to the Earth at high speed, whose fate is to gradually evaporate until disappearing.
Device miniaturization and a consequent increase in the heat and electromagnetic (EM) wave emission in the electronic systems make the simultaneous heat management and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding crucially important.
Read moreBorophene is the name for atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) sheets of boron. Whereas boron is a nonmetallic semiconductor in its bulk form, it becomes a metallic conductor in 2D, even at a thickness of only one atomic layer.
Read moreLithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous in today’s electronic devices such as smart phones and laptops. Even NASA uses rechargeable batteries in many missions to provide electrical power for survival during eclipse periods on solar-powered missions…
Read moreRadiative cooling is a passive cooling strategy for lowering the temperature of an object without consuming energy or emitting pollution.
Read moreBy varying the energy and dose of tightly-focused electron beams, researchers have demonstrated the ability to both etch away and deposit high-resolution nanoscale patterns on two-dimensional layers of graphene oxide.
Read moreAn unusual form of superconductivity, which could help develop powerful quantum computers, has been found at the interface between two thin films by RIKEN physicists (Nature Communications, “Nonreciprocal charge transport at topological insulator/superconductor interface”).
