A team at the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA) has demonstrated that methane can be efficiently and selectively oxidized to ethane with oxygen under light irradiation over an Au-ZnO/TiO2 hybrid. This achievement opens the door to cheaper and more efficient production of valuable chemicals using methane as a feedstock.

A pioneering study at the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA) has resulted in the first direct exfoliation of zeolites into a liquid suspension of monolayers. This breakthrough provides proof of the presence of monolayers, and could lead to their use in the creation of catalysts, nanodevices, drug delivery systems and other products with tailored … Continued

A team at the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (WPI-MANA) has developed the first-ever artificial retinal device that increases the edge contrast between lighter and darker areas of an image, using ionic migration and interaction within solid. The device has the potential for use in developing compact, energy-efficient visual sensing and image-processing hardware systems capable … Continued
