A research team has performed the first-ever direct nanoscale examination of a living cell membrane. In doing so, it also resolved a long-standing debate by identifying tiny groupings of lipid molecules that are likely key to the cell's functioning.
Quantum light emitters, or quantum dots, have only shown up randomly in nanoscale-thin semiconductors—that is, until now. A group based in the United Kingdom has created planned, spectrally stable arrays of quantum light emitters in semiconductor ...
The catalysts take a waste product of coal used in power plants and other hydrocarbon combustion reactions, in the presence of electrical energy, and create liquid fuel. Their finding was a surprise. They had been studying only the first step of a reaction ...
Italian cable maker Prysmian has signed an agreement aimed at testing the use of nanotechnology in power applications. The technology co-operation agreement with US-based carbon nanotube products maker Nanocomp Technologies specifies co-operation on ...
The inaugural member of Vesper's ZeroPower Listening™ MEMS microphone product line, VM1010 is a tiny, ultra-rugged piezoelectric MEMS microphone that allows product designers to offer touchless user interfaces to consumers, without any power-consumption ...
