Research into designing and building unique 'metamaterials' has received a £4.9 million funding boost from The Leverhulme Trust, it is announced today. Metamaterials can be used for invisibility 'cloaki...
The performance of modern electronics increases steadily on a fast pace thanks to the ongoing miniaturization of the utilized components. However, severe problems arise due to quantum mechanical phenomena when conventional structures are simply made smaller and reach the nanometer scale. Therefore current research focuses on the socalled bottomup approach: the engineering of functional structures with the smallest possible building blocks single atoms and molecules.
Novel nanomaterials developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are scheduled to blast off into orbit on November 16 aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis.
John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (NYSE:JWa) (NYSE:JWb), announced today that two outstanding researchers have been selected as the recipients of the seventh annual "SPSJ Wiley Award", which Wiley organizes in conju...
Metals are opaque: they reflect light almost completely. For that reason they are utilized as mirrors; as films deposited onto a glassyou find them in any bathroom. If the metal film is very thin, the mirror is semitrans...
Researchers at Texas Tech University, Queen's University in Belfast, Ireland, the University of Rome and the National Research Council in Italy recently made a discovery about the non-uniform chemical compositions of...
Nanomaterials, which are a thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair, have been developed to perform a variety of roles, including stain resistance in clothes, preservatives in food and cancer treatment in dr...
Silicon nanowires are attracting significant attention from the electronics industry due to the drive for ever-smaller electronic devices, from cell phones to computers. The operation of these future devices, and a wide array of additional applications, will depend on the mechanical properties of these nanowires.
In an advance that could help ease health and environmental concerns about the emerging nanotechnology industry, scientists are reporting development of technology for changing the behavior of nanoparticles in municipal sewage treatment plants - their main gateway into the environment.
Electronic devices can't work well unless all of the transistors, or switches, within them allow electrical current to flow easily when they are turned on. A team of engineers has determined why some transistors made of organic crystals don't perform well, yielding ideas about how to make them work better.
