NIST Team Studies Transfer of Nanoscale Motion via Microelectromechanical System

From the printing press to the jet engine, mechanical machines with moving parts have been the basis of technology for several centuries. With the U.S. industry developing smaller mechanical systems, they experience greater challenges - microscopic parts tend to stick together and wear out when they come in touch with each other.

Study Suggests New Method for Producing Catalytically Active Gold Nanoparticles

An ultra-high-vacuum chamber with temperatures approaching absolute zero—the coldest anything can get—may be the last place you would expect to find gold. But a group of researchers from Stony Brook University (SBU) in collaboration with scientists at the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have just demonstrated that such a desolate place is ideal for producing catalytically active gold nanoparticles.
