Tokyo scientists create nanoscrolls for next-gen tech | Researchers achieved a major breakthrough by crafting nanoscrolls using Janus nanosheets. This innovation unlocks doors to exciting possibilities in catalysis, optics, and clean energy.


Discover the future of nanotechnology as Tokyo scientists pioneer a method to roll atomically thin sheets into nanoscrolls.

The resulting nanoscrolls, measuring multiple microns in length, showcase a tight roll with a remarkable center diameter down to five nanometers—a meeting of theoretical expectations. As we witness these strides in nanotechnology, it's clear that the Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers have not only rolled nanosheets into scrolls but have also unraveled a new chapter in the fascinating world of nanoscience, bringing us closer to a future where atom-level precision in material engineering becomes a reality. The controlled creation of nanoscrolls opens up avenues for designing materials with tailored properties, influencing the fields of catalysis and photovoltaic devices.
