Monitoring electron spins for a prolonged time period poses to be a major barrier in quantum computing. Scientists from EPFL have discovered the possibility of carbon nanospheres to overcome such barriers, even at room temperature.
A versatile, new method of using laser-induced design to synthesize silver-based hybrid nano-particles has been developed by scientists in China. The research illustrates that the nano-composite has the potential to be an efficient adsorbent for affordable water purification and dye removal.
Data that amounts to a billion gigabytes is created in today’s world on a daily basis. In order to store data of this volume, it is essential that the space taken by each and every bit is as small as possible.
For years, scientists and engineers have synthesized materials at the nanoscale level to take advantage of their mechanical, optical, and energy properties, but efforts to scale these materials to larger sizes have resulted in diminished performance and structural integrity.
In a recent work published in Nature Communications, the research group led by ICREA Professor at ICFO Frank Koppens demonstrate a novel way to detect low-energy photons using vertical heterostructures made by stacking graphene and other 2D semiconducting materials.
Researchers from the University of Houston have reported the first explanation for how a class of materials changes during production to more efficiently absorb light, a critical step toward the large-scale manufacture of better and less-expensive solar panels.
A multi-disciplinary research, spanning several years has revealed that a new 3D sponge composed of carbon nanotubes was capable of promoting nerve fiber growth, linking separated neural explants and offering a practical reconnection.
A team of researchers from Queen Mary University of London’s (QMUL’s) School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, worked with UK industry to develop the first ever practical cloaking device, which enabled curved surfaces to look flat to electromagnetic waves. The material has nano-size particles, which help to enhance specific properties on the surface of the object, giving the material the ability to make an object disappear.
Leading manufacturer of plasma etch and deposition processing systems Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology, recently won an order from Nanjing University of Post and Telecommunications, based in Nanjiang, Jiangsu, China for multiple plasma etch systems to be used for silicon and III-V etching.
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst have genetically developed a new bacteria strain that creates thin, highly conductive wires using natural, non-toxic amino acids. The development has been published in the recent issue of the journal Small.
