Single Process Enhances Performance of Thermoelectric Nanowires

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have stated that improved materials for nanowires, as well as better techniques to manufacture them, could lead to development of devices with better efficiency to cool computer chips and would also enable harvesting of heat of exhaust systems in automobiles.

Selective Creation of Magnetic Nanovortices Using Magnetic Fields

"With the help of magnetic fields, we can selectively create the magnetic nanovortices, then give them a shove so that they are deflected out of their equilibrium position", explains Dr. Felix Büttner, who pursued this research as his Ph.D. project. "We were then able to very precisely track how these skyrmions, as these special nanovortices are called, return to their rest position", Büttner explains further.
