New Measurement Method Developed for Active Nanoscale Components

Regardless of their size, the functioning of computers or mobile phones depends on the interaction among a wide range of materials. Hence, researchers and engineers ought to have an in-depth understanding of precisely the manner in which particular chemical elements in a transistor diode or a computer chip function, and also the consequences of bonding between these elements.

Etching Nanoscale Pores on Graphene Layers to Decipher Ion Transport

Minute pores at the opening to a cell can function as tiny bouncers that let in certain electrically charged atoms, that is, ions, but obstruct others. These “ion channels” function as acutely sensitive filters and have a significant role in biological functions such as firing of brain cells and muscle contraction.

Innovative Strategy for Isolating Ring-Shaped Molecules from Linear Ones

The distinction between rings formed of the same material and linear chains is that although the molecular building blocks are similar, from a mathematical point of view, topologies of the two structures, that is, linear chain and ring, are distinct.

Researchers Improve Supercapacitance of VGNs by Using Hybrid Electrolyte

Supercapacitors have the ability to store more energy than batteries and are favored in the place of batteries due to their potential to charge quickly, largely because of the vertical graphene nanosheets (VGNs) that are huge and located close to each other.
