Researchers in Korea and the UK have discovered that a graphene coating on biological samples helps dissipate the charge build-up that normally occurs on the surface of these samples during non-destructive electron microscopy imaging. Such a charge build-up is usually a big problem in this context and prevents high-resolution images from being obtained…….. http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/tech/66514 Graphene […]
The 2016 Nobel Prize for Chemistry was awarded to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L Feringa for the design and synthesis of molecular machines, touted to herald a second industrial revolution. Just as the constant miniaturization of the transistor over recent decades has led to mobile phones and other pocket-sized devices with […]
Researchers in the US, Japan and China are the first to have studied the anisotropic light–matter interactions in gallium telluride (GaTe), a technologically important 2D semiconductor with in-plane anisotropy. Thanks to techniques like anisotropic optical extinction and Raman spectroscopy, they have found that the anisotropy is related to various parameters such as GaTe flake thickness, […]
Researchers in Moldova and Germany have made a new type of light-driven micro-engine from arrays of titania nanotubes.
Researchers led by Qiangfei Xia and Joshua Yang at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in the US have made a “diffusive” memristor that emulates how a real synapse works. The device could be used as a key element in integrated circuits and next-generation computers that mimic how the human brain works………. http://nanotechweb.org/cws/article/tech/66462 Memristor mimics […]
Silica nanoparticles less than 10 nm in diameter in size could be used to kill cancer cells in a process known as ferroptosis according to new work by researchers at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. The tumour-killing properties of the particles appear to be intrinsic to the particles themselves and as […]
