Published in the journal Nature, the results of the study, funded in part by the Graphene Flagship, could improve our understanding of water transport
through nanometre - scale channels in natural and artificial membranes.

In a paper published in EPJ B, the authors study how the crystal periodicity affects the motion of ions whose energy belongs to a 1 to 2 MeV range, as they are transmitted
through very thin crystals on the order of a few hundred
nanometres, and how it impacts their angular distribution.
Solid chips of metal about 20
nanometres across will slide
through carbon nanotubes when an electric current is switched on.
Bacteria use molecular motors just tens of
nanometres wide to spin a tail (or «flagellum») that pushes them
through their habitat.
But not all the sunlight would be absorbed by this electrode: light with a wavelength longer than 600
nanometres isn't absorbed by the rust - coloured water in the top cell so would pass
through to strike the lower electrode, powering the production of hydrogen.
They are confident they can extend the tunable range to wavelengths from 650 to 1100
nanometres, which can pass
through living tissue, and have devised a laser which could cost around # 10 000.
This is the case in Stupp's polymer, so a beam of infrared laser light (with wavelength 1068
nanometres) shone
through it will emerge in the green part of the spectrum with a wavelength of 534
nanometres.
Creating a voltage between them allowed current to flow between the two perpendicular electrodes — separated from each other by just 20
nanometres,
through the single phosphorus atom, which acted as a transistor.
The team coated a silicon wafer with a layer of upright nanotubes, spaced 100
nanometres apart
through a process called chemical vapour deposition.
A
nanometre is 1 billionth of a metre, hence nanoparticles are small enough to move
through the bloodstream.
Furthermore, the microscope will be capable of performing live - cell super-resolution imaging
through structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and Super-Resolution Radial Fluctuations (SRRF); for fixed cells resolutions on the scale of tens of
nanometres will be achievable using single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) techniques.
