Researchers Describe Two Unique Structures for Gold Nanocluster

Diamonds and graphite are chemically the same yet physically different, just like how two minerals can differ from each other, one hard and translucent and the other soft and opaque. The changing arrangement of carbon atoms provides a unique feature to both diamonds and minerals.

Researchers Investigate New Approach to Develop Nano-Templates from Self-Assembling Macromolecules

Miniaturization of electronic devices has been ongoing since well before the first room-sized computer was built more than half a century ago. A hand-held smart phone now holds far more data than that behemoth of the late 1940s, but continuing this trend toward tiny has become more challenging.

Researchers Use Graphene Sheet to Turn Electricity into Light

Airplanes exceeding the speed of sound create a shockwave that generates a popular “boom” of sound. Recently, a team of researchers from MIT and elsewhere found a similar method in a graphene sheet, where under a specific circumstance, a flow of electric current could surpass the speed of slowed-down light to generate a sort of optical “boom”, which really is a strong, focused beam of light.
