Researchers have taken an important step toward developing a communications network that exchanges information across long distances by using photons, mass-less measures of light that are key elements of quantum computing and quantum communications systems. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a system of gold nanorods that acts like a tiny light-driven motor, with its direction of motion is determined by the orientation of the motors. This work may lead to smaller and more precise nanomachines. • Email to a friend • Novel technique yields a carbon nanotube forest of record length, potentially revolutionizing the future of many industries. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a bio-based, luminescent, water-resistant wood film that could someday be used as cover panels for lamps, displays and laser devices. • Email to a friend • Bio-compatible electrostrictive materials will play a leading role in the future generation of medical micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). • Email to a friend • The findings of this new research may change views about what limits the performance of organic solar cells, photodetectors and OLEDs. • Email to a friend • Researchers use electrically charged polymers to detect biomarkers in body fluids. Not just one layer of this, but dozens. In this way they manage reaching a 25 times higher sensitivity. • Email to a friend • The instrument could bring powerful sensing and imaging capabilities out of the lab and into hospitals, airports, or other settings. • Email to a friend • This discovery provides a new route to design materials with tunable electrical and magnetic behaviors for potential applications in information storage and spintronics computing. • Email to a friend • Researchers develop silicon nanoresonators that can control the scattering of light when excited by another laser. This research may lead to faster and completely optical computer switches and circuits. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a patch made from fully rubbery electronics that can be placed directly on the heart to collect electrophysiological activity, temperature, heartbeat and other indicators, all at the same time. • Email to a friend • A thin coating of the 2D nanomaterial hexagonal boron nitride is the key ingredient in a cost-effective technology for desalinating industrial-strength brine. • Email to a friend • A new study shows that it is possible to jet inks, containing tiny flakes of 2D materials such as graphene, to build up and mesh together the different layers of complex, customised electronic structures. • Email to a friend • |
