The freezing of suspensions of particles is not always a uniform phenomenon; in certain conditions it leads to a modification of the redistribution of particles and the growth of crystals. These results have been obtaine...
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated the first "universal" programmable quantum information processor able to run any program allowed by quantum mechanics-the rules governing the submicroscopic world-using two quantum bits (qubits) of information.
Nanonex Corporation, the inventor and world's leading provider in nanoimprint lithography solutions with the longest history, announces the purchase of a Nanonex NX-2600 by University of Massachusetts Lowell. Nanonex...
Researchers in Australia and the UK are flying the idea that insect wings could act as a model for making self-cleaning, frictionless, and superhydrophobic materials. They discuss the latest developments in their laborat...
Pauliina Nurmi M.Sc.(Tech.) completed her doctorate at the Department of Chemistry and Bioengineering at Tampere University of Technology (TUT), a study of microbiological methods for oxidising and removing iron in biole...
Johns Hopkins materials scientists have found a new use for a chemical compound that has traditionally been viewed as an electrical conductor, a substance that allows electricity to flow through it. By orienting the compound in a different way, the researchers have turned it into a thin film insulator, which instead blocks the flow of electricity, but can induce large electric currents elsewhere.
Preparations at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Garching near Munich for the system that is to heat the plasma of the ITER international fusion test reactor to many million degrees have entered a new rou...
Research into designing and building unique 'metamaterials' has received a £4.9 million funding boost from The Leverhulme Trust, it is announced today. Metamaterials can be used for invisibility 'cloaki...
The performance of modern electronics increases steadily on a fast pace thanks to the ongoing miniaturization of the utilized components. However, severe problems arise due to quantum mechanical phenomena when conventional structures are simply made smaller and reach the nanometer scale. Therefore current research focuses on the socalled bottomup approach: the engineering of functional structures with the smallest possible building blocks single atoms and molecules.
Novel nanomaterials developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are scheduled to blast off into orbit on November 16 aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis.
