Fast, cheap nanomanufacturing
Arrays of tiny conical tips that eject ionized materials could fabricate nanoscale devices cheaply.
Mass spectrometry in your hand
Electrospray arrays can dramatically downsize systems and costs for onsite chemical analysis — and many other applications.
Learning how things fall apart
New research reveals how bonded materials, from airplane wings to dental crowns, lose their bonding.
High potential
Tomás Palacios investigates use of ‘extreme materials’ in electronics, which could reduce energy consumption and make computers far faster.
