The team’s new synthesis protocol allows for the production of tungsten disulfide nanotubes which point in the same direction. The material they make show the key properties of single nanotubes. Tokyo ...

In a study published in Nano Letters, Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers created the first tungsten disulfide nanotubes that point in the same direction upon formation. The team’s new synthesis ...

The shifting, scintillating pattern you can see when you stack two slightly misaligned window screens is called moiré. A similar interference effect occurs when scientists stack two-dimensional ...

A superconducting ink that can be printed onto surfaces in a single-molecule-thick layer could prove useful for the building of circuits for quantum computers. The tungsten disulfide ink is more ...

Tungsten disulfide nanotubes (WS2-NTs), first discovered in 1992, have long captured the attention of researchers for their potential applications in advanced technologies. These cylindrical ...

Take a lattice -- a flat section of a grid of uniform cells, like a window screen or a honeycomb -- and lay another, similar lattice above it. But instead of trying to line up the edges or the cells ...

Scientists from the Tohoku University in Japan have fabricated a near-invisible solar cell based on indium tin oxide (ITO) and tungsten disulfide (WS 2) as a transparent electrode and a photoactive ...

Researchers from Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology claim to have developed a highly performant organic PV cell using tungsten disulfide flakes a few atoms thick. The ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (part of the Spanish National Research Council), in collaboration with partners from King Saud University (Saudi ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have made tungsten disulfide nanotubes which point in the same direction when formed, for the first time. They used a sapphire surface ...
