Self Aligning Growth Process Could See Carbon Nanotubes Revolutionize Electronic and Photonics

Scientists and engineers the world over have thought for years that the next

generation of smaller, more-efficient electronic and photonic devices could

be based on the use of carbon nanotubes, structures 10,000 times thinner than

a human hair but with tremendous potential.

First Ever Images of an Atomic Nucleus with Halo

Atomic nuclei are normally compact structures defined by a sharp border. About
twenty-five years ago, it was discovered at the University
of California in Berkeley that there are exceptions to this picture: Certain
exotic atomic nuclei contain particles that shear off from the central core
and create a cloud, which surrounds the central core like a 'heiligenschein'
or halo.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
