Next Generation Data Storage Technology Made Possible by Light
Using light for next generation data storage technology Tiny, nano-sized crystals of salt encoded with data using light from a laser could be the next data storage technology of choice, following research by Australian scientists. The researchers from the University...
Carbon Nanotubes Enable Clothing That Can Charge an iphone
Carbon nanotubes will replace copper wire in cars and planes to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency. Carbon will filter our water and tell us more about our lives and bodies through new biometric sensors.
Manipulating single atoms with an electron beam
An electron beam with sub-atomic precision, allowing scientists to directly see each atom in two-dimensional materials like graphene, and also to target single atoms with the beam. Each electron has a tiny chance of scattering back from a nucleus, giving it a kick in the opposite direction.
Generating Electrical Power From Waste Heat
Generating electrical power from waste heat New Sandia solid-state silicon device may one day power space missions Directly converting electrical power to heat is easy. It regularly happens in your toaster, that is, if you make toast regularly. The opposite,...
Nanomaterial Superconductivity Lost? Physicists Uncover Why
Scientists discovered the phenomenon 30 years ago, but the mechanism for superconductivity remains an enigma because the majority of materials are too complex to understand QPT physics in details. A good strategy would be first to look at less complicated model systems.
Smart Bandages Monitor and Tailor Treatment for Chronic Wounds
Smart bandages designed to monitor and tailor treatment for chronic wounds Smart Bandages with integrated pH and temperature sensors and electronically triggered drug release are designed to improve healing A team of engineers led by Tufts University has developed a...

Quantum Transistor for Semiconductor Applications Enables Photon Computing
Quantum computers will need analogous hardware to manipulate quantum information. But the design constraints for this new technology are stringent, and today’s most advanced processors can’t be repurposed as quantum devices. That’s because quantum information carriers, dubbed qubits, have to follow different rules laid out by quantum physics.
Nanoscale Kirigami Technique Could Enable Microchip-Based 3-D Optical Devices
Nanoscale Kirigami has taken off as a field of research in the last few years; the approach is based on the ancient arts of origami (making 3-D shapes by folding paper) and kirigami (which allows cutting as well as folding) but applied to flat materials at the nanoscale, measured in billionths of a meter.
ISO Class 4 Microelectronics Cleanroom Completed for NexLogic Technologies, Inc.
NexLogic Technologies, Inc. has announced the completion of its International Standards Organization (ISO) 14644-1 Class 4/10,000 and the equivalent Federal Standard 209E (FS209E) Class 10 clean room as an integral part of its new microelectronics services and manufacturing capability.
Indium Oxide Nanocrystals Comprise New UV Narrow-Band Photodetector
Semiconductor quantum dots (nanocrystals just a few nanometers in size) have attracted researchers’ attention due to the size dependent effects that determine their novel electrical and optical properties. By changing the size of such objects, it is possible to adjust the wavelength of the emission they absorb, thus implementing selective photodetectors, including those for UV radiation.
Biosensor Chips based on Copper and Graphene Oxide
Russian researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have developed biosensor chips of unprecedented sensitivity, which are based on copper instead of the conventionally used gold. Besides making the device somewhat cheaper, this innovation will facilitate the manufacturing process.
