Nanotechnology enables engineers to weld previously un-weldable aluminum alloy

(Nanowerk News) An aluminum alloy developed in the 1940s has long held promise for use in automobile manufacturing, except for one key obstacle. Although it's nearly as strong as steel and just one-third the weight, it is almost impossible to weld together ...

Graphene nanoscale electronics realised from imaging electrons’ trajectories

Pulses of light only one-quintillionth of a second long are to image the motion of an electron as a first step to understanding electron behaviour to enable petahertz superconducting computing. Computers operate at the speed of gigahertz, a billion cycles ...

How Does Nanotechnology Improve Chromatographic Columns?

Nanomaterials are defined as those that are less than 100nm in size. Traditional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) uses particles that are micrometres in diameter, but the pore size is in nanometres. In GC, the film thickness of the stationary ...
