A nanoscale solution to the big problem of overheating in microelectronic devices

This composite image shows density (grey) and temperature (color) maps of a 100 nm-wide polycrystalline aluminum wire. The temperature is computed from the density using aluminum's known thermal expansion. Lower densities appear at …more. Anyone ...

Google Glass Needed Better Vision

I learned from insiders and friends at Google that you were adorned with many MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) and sensors – so of course, I loved that! I was so close to having you...and yet… I could never rationalize the $2,000 starter price ...

Using disorder to control light on a nanoscale

To control light on the nanoscale, the researchers used a photonic crystal superlattice, a lattice structure made of crystals that allows light through. The lattice was a disorderly pattern, with thousands of nanoscale heptagonal, square and triangular ...

Scientists build silicon transistor just one atom thick

Step aside, graphene, "silicene" is the trendy new nano-material in town that could one day supercharge future tech. Scientists have created the world's first transistor out of the silicon-based material, and it's a mere one atom thick. Unlike its much ...

Aramid nanofibres make good battery separators

Researchers at the University of Michigan in the US have made a new type of nanomaterial, dubbed aramid nanofibre, that is as strong as carbon nanotubes but which is much easier and cheaper to produce – from Kevlar™ threads. The material can ...

Turing also present at the nanoscale

It seemed that on a smaller scale - at the nanoscale, where random fluctuations rule the movement of single atoms and molecules - these patterns do not have the right to form spontaneously. "So far, no-one has even studied the possibility of the ...
