In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers developed and characterized a multi-component molecular propeller that enables unidirectional rotations on a material surface when energized.

In a study published in Nano Letters, researchers demonstrated an advanced characterization toolkit for the investigation of semiconductor nanostructures.

By coupling magnetic behavior to a superconducting circuit, Argonne scientists pave the way for quantum information systems.

A unique route was demonstrated for directly imaging local strain in nanomechanical structures and quantifying dynamic structure-function relationships in materials.

Transition dipole moments in CdSe quantum rings show a peculiar in-plane linear distribution.

Strategies for purifying water abound, but they tend to require lots of energy. Scientists at Argonne are exploring materials that can efficiently use sunlight to concentrate heat right at the water’s surface to produce clean steam for capture.

Argonne National Laboratory played a critical role in the discovery of a DNA-like twisted crystal structure created with a germanium sulfide nanowire.
