Theorem explains why quantities such as heat and power can fluctuate in microscopic system

A theoretical study could have practical applications in nanoscale machine optimization.

Pulsed electron beams provide a softer touch for atomic-scale imaging

A new technique is providing atomic-resolution details about magnesium chloride, a material involved in the production of the most common plastic, polyethylene, and could help to create a path toward sustainable plastics.

Hourglass-shaped silicon nanowire photodiodes with increased absorption of light developed

Scientists propose vertical silicone nanowires with high sensitivity by using silicone and semiconductor process.

On your medicine's secret service

Whether a wound heals well under a dressing cannot be seen from the outside. Researchers are now enabling a view through the bandage à la James Bond. The refined application of terahertz radiation could promote the analysis of multi-layered tissues for medical purposes and be used for wound treatment or the diagnostics of blood vessel plaques.
