Using single molecules as sensors for ultrahigh-resolution 3D microscopy
Using a single molecule as a sensor, scientists have successfully imaged electric potential fields with unrivalled precision. The ultrahigh-resolution images provide information on the distribution of charges in the electron shells of single molecules and even atoms.
Nanotechnology center gets $9.8M Air Force grant to develop bioprogrammable nanomaterials
The goal is to develop solutions to challenging problems in the areas of energy, the environment, security and defense, as well as for developing ways to monitor and mitigate human stress.
Could black phosphorus be the next silicon?
New material could make it possible to pack more transistors on a chip, research suggests.
Tiny wires could provide a big energy boost
Yarns of niobium nanowire can make supercapacitors to provide a surge of energy when it's needed.
Crystal structure and magnetism - new insight into the fundamentals of solid state physics
Scientists decode relationship between magnetic interactions and the distortions in crystal structure within a geometrically 'frustrated' spinel system.
New technique enables magnetic patterns to be mapped in 3D
An international collaboration has succeeded in using synchrotron light to detect and record the complex 3D magnetisation in wound magnetic layers. This technique could be important in the development of devices that are highly sensitive to magnetic fields, such as in medical diagnostics for example.
