Recent Highlights

Confined water chain can oscillate sustainingly

A water chain confined in carbon nanotubes can self-adjust into regular oscillation with remarkably lower entropy from random thermal motion with higher entropy at room temperature.

Fluorinating Hexagonal Boron Nitride into Diamond-Like Nanofilms with Tunable Band Gap and Ferromagnetism

Our results represent an extremely cost-effective approach for producing high-quality c-BN nanofilms with tunable electronic, magnetic, and electromechanical properties for versatile applications.

Controlling the Functionalizations of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Structures by Carrier Doping

This carrier control of functionalizations is robust via adatom concentration and the physical conditions of BN structures, thus offering an easy route to controllably anchor the properties of functionalized BN systems for desired applications.

The rise of white graphene

Graphene nanoribbons - atomically-thin strips of graphene that are just a few nanometers wide – are considered to be excellent candidates for future electronics applications as their properties can be adjusted through width and edge shape.

About us

The Institute of NanoScience (NSI) was established in January 2001. Its core activities are focused on researching and teaching in nanoscale physical mechanics, intelligent nanomaterials and devices, high efficient energy transfer nanotechnology, three dimensional fatigue fracture and damage tolerance and durability design of structures. The Institute members have published more than 210 journal papers Phys. Rev. Lett., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Adv. Mater., Nano Lett., Phys. Rev. B., Appl. Phys. Lett., J. Plasticity, Int. J. Solids Struct, Int. J. Fracture, Int. J. Fatigue etc. The Institute was one of the world's first nanotechnology information providers and is now a global leader.
