- 30/08/2019 Self-Threading Monomer Provides Protection For Carbon Nanotubes Strategy assembles three-component nanostructure with nanoscale precision
- 30/08/2019 Tunnel Barrier Disappears In A Topological Superconducting State Researchers have seen Klein tunnelling – a rare relativistic phenomenon in which a tunnel barrier disappears – in a topological superconducting state for the first time. The result sheds more light on a previously overlooked aspect of topological superconductivity and could even help in the development of a new family of spintronic and superconducting devices, they say.
- 29/08/2019 Supersolidity Appears In Ultracold Atoms A supersolid is a paradoxical form of matter – it flows without friction (like a superfluid) but its particles are arranged in a crystalline lattice (like a solid).
- 28/08/2019 Three-Atom-Thick Optical Waveguide Is The Thinnest Ever Researchers have succeeded in making the thinnest ever optical device in the form of a waveguide just three atomic layers thick. The device could lead to the development of higher density optoelectronic chips.
- 27/08/2019 Electricity-Free Cooling Material System Shows Potential To meet global demand for cooling sustainably, researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a device that could cool buildings without electricity.
- 26/08/2019 Carbon Nanotube 16-bit Microprocessor Takes Computing Beyond Silicon Carbon nanotubes have been touted as a potential successor to silicon technology that could improve energy efficiencies by an order of magnitude.
- 25/08/2019 Graphene Origami Reaches Quantum Precision It’s easier to fold a napkin than a notepad. The potential to manipulate graphite into precise nanostructures using a scanning probe microscope has teased researchers ever since Thomas W. Ebbesen and Hidefumi Hiura first reported accidental tears and folds in their graphite during scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) experiments in the mid-1990s.
- 24/08/2019 Synthetic Antiferromagnets Host Room-Temperature Skyrmions Researchers have succeeded in stabilizing antiferromagnetic skyrmions in an ordinary material system at room temperature for the first time.
- 23/08/2019 A Million Pulses Per Second: How Particle Accelerators Are Powering X-Ray Lasers Researchers in biology, chemistry and physics will use LCLS-II to probe fundamental pieces of matter, creating 3-D movies of complex molecules in action, making LCLS-II a powerful, versatile instrument at the forefront of discovery.
- 22/08/2019 A Chip Made With Carbon Nanotubes, Not Silicon, Marks A Computing Milestone The prototype could give rise to a new generation of faster, more energy-efficient electronics
