EPFL-led Researchers Successfully Produce Light Pulses with Small Chip-Based Device

Solitons are a type of wave that, unlike other waves, retains its shape even as it moves further away from its source. Soliton waves of light are of great interest because they can produce evenly spaced frequencies of light, like the teeth of comb.

Researchers Demonstrate First Ever Measurement of Electron Temperatures in Nanoelectronic Device

The first ever measurement of the temperature of electrons in a nanoelectronic device a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero was demonstrated in a joint research project performed by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd, Lancaster University, and Aivon Ltd. The team managed to make the electrons in a circuit on a silicon chip colder than had previously been achieved.

Self-Assembling Polymer Nanowires Suggested for Making Small Chip Components

Computer chips have been built using a photolithographic process since the 1960s. In the past five years however, chip features have become smaller than the wavelength of light, which has resulted in modifications of photolithography. If the miniaturization rate continues — as predicted by Moore’s Law — new manufacturing techniques need to be established.

Researchers Demonstrate the Use of Semiconductor Nanocrystals in Photochemistry

The transfer of triplet exciton energy from semiconductor nanocrystals to molecular acceptors that are surface-bound has been outlined by North Carolina State University researchers. This transfer extends the duration of the excited state that was initially developed by six orders of magnitude. The discovery is applicable in a wide range of fields such as photochemical synthesis, solar energy conversion, light therapy for treating cancer, and optoelectronics.

Researchers Create Bismuth-Based Nanoribbons that Could Enable Next-Generation Technologies

Scientists have developed a unique type of bismuth-based nanoribbons, whose semiconductor properties were effectively controlled by applying a magnetic field. This novel technology shows promise for developing new quantum computers and spintronic devices, and would also aid in studying exotic physics concepts. These nanoribbons were developed using a new class of materials, known as topological insulators.
