Super Sensitive Scale can Measure the Weight of a Gold Atom

Using the same technology with which they created the world's first fully functional
nanotube radio, researchers with Berkeley
Lab and the University of California (UC) at Berkeley have fashioned a nanoelectromechanical
system (NEMS) that can function as a scale sensitive enough to measure the mass
of a single atom of gold.

Taking Images of Ice a Few Nanometers Thick as it Forms Bulk Ice was Supposed to be Impossible

Taking images of ice a few nanometers thick as it forms bulk ice was supposed to be impossible. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) shouldn't work with ice because STMs create images by relying on conducting current, which runs contrary to one of ice’s basic properties - insulation.

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.
