How to build nanoelectronic devices atom by atom?
Atomistic simulation of quantum transport in nanoelectronic devices shows how, using NanoDsim.
Asymmetrical magnetic microbeads transform into micro-robots
Thanks to the ordering effects of two-faced magnetic beads, they can be turned into useful tools controlled by a changing external magnetic field.
Making terahertz lasers more powerful
Researchers nearly double the continuous output power of a type of terahertz laser, opening up applications in spectroscopy, imaging, remote sensing and more.
Imaging the brain at multiple size scales
New technique can reveal subcellular details and long-range connections.
Pixel-array quantum cascade detector paves the way for portable thermal imaging devices
Researchers have developed a new 'cooler' sensing instrument thereby increasing energy-efficiency and enhancing mobility for diagnostic testing.
