We bring you the highlights nanoscale science and technology research in 2017 from IOP Publishing's materials portfolio.

Mapping the charge transport in new absorber material combinations points scientists on a different path towards efficient carbon-based solar cells.

Technique may revolutionize the design of scaffolds for regenerative medicine applications.

From CO₂ catalysis based on solar cells to nanoparticle-enhanced antibiotics, we highlight some of the developments that have made the headlines on nanotechweb.org in 2017. (You can also watch as a movie on youtube.)

The magnetotransport properties of materials can be tailored by changing their nanostructure geometry.

They might also be used as highly-sensitive sensors and even as integrated light sources.

The use of DNA to self-assemble nanoscale objects has scaled up in both structure size and complexity, as well as the quantity produced.

Mesoporous silicon nanoparticles co-deliver chemotherapeutic and genetic drugs with a time lag for more effectively countering cancer-cell protection mechanisms against drugs, as well as inhibiting cell growth and metastasis.

The breakthrough comes more than 15 years after the first CNT-based ICs made their appearance.
