Feature that Could be Used as a Switch in Nanoscale Electronic Devices

Berkeley Lab researchers have shown that electrical resistance through a molecular junction—a nanometer scale circuit element that contacts gold atoms with a single molecule - can be turned ‘on’ and ‘off’ simply by pushing and pulling the junction. This feature has potential for being used as a switch in future nanoscale electronic devices.

Technique Reveals Crystal Colour Centres with Nanometric Resolution

A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen has now probed these color centers inside the crystal with unprecedented resolution using an optical microscope. Using STED microscopy, the scientists identified even densely packed color centers and determined their position inside the crystal with a precision better than 0.15 nanometers, corresponding to the dimension of an atom.
