Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits were developed 30 years ago for reducing the expenditure related to geothermal drilling. However, PDCs were initially used for oil and gas drilling as they were comparatively less complicated.
The President of University at Buffalo, Satish K. Tripathi, has presented a proposal for the establishment of a state Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics to the governor's office and the New York State Legislature. The designation will help UB to acquire federal funding and new faculty.
Two materials engineers, Evan Reed and Mitchell Ong from the Stanford School of Engineering, have described a novel method of engineering piezoelectrics into graphene in a paper reported in ACS Nano.
A research team led by Tilman Esslinger from the Institute of Quantum Electronics at ETH Zurich is one of the two groups to successfully simulate graphene in experiments. This technique will help understand the consequences caused by the modification of nanomaterial’s lattice structure.
A team of international researchers led by Professor Tim Liedl, a LMU physicist, has developed novel, optically active, three-dimensional structures based on the structure of DNAs. DNA strands act as scaffolds for bonding gold nanoparticles in predestined patterns.
A research team comprising Kirill Bolotin, A.K.M. Newaz, Sokrates Pantelides, Bin Wang and Yevgeniy Puzyev from the Vanderbilt University has confirmed that charged impurities present in graphene are the source of interference, and slow down the electron flow through the nanomaterial-based devices.
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new 400 ìm fiber that emits light along its length. The fiber emits light in all directions and its brightness can be controlled according to the requirement.
Ryan Hayward, Christian Santangelo and colleagues, researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst have recently used polymer science and photographic methods for creating a new method that will help print 2-D polymer sheets, which can be folded into 3-D shapes, with the addition of water. The new method may find applications from medicine to robotics.
According to a paper published by the journal Nature, ALPHA collaboration at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has achieved a significant milestone in determining the properties of antimatter atoms. Back in June 2011, it was reported that ALPHA collaboration had regularly captured antihydrogen atoms for an extended amount of time.
A research team comprising Vivek Prabhu and Vytas Reipa from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a new technique by combining two distinct experimental techniques namely electrochemical and neutron scattering measurements to study structural medications in nanoparticles when they undergo oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction.
