Molecular circuitry: International team breaks one-diode-one resistor electronics

By creating a new type of molecular circuit switch, the team may have just opened the door to ultra-high-density computing within our lifetime.

Exotic nanotubes move in less-mysterious ways

Scientists show boron nitride's promise for composites, biomedical applications.

Stretchable variable color nanosheet changes color with expansion and contraction

Variable color sheets with a film thickness of 400 nanometers are expected to be applied to adhesive-type display elements, as they can adhere to skin or be transferred to various electronic devices at room temperature utilizing the high adhesiveness of elastomers.

Joined nano-triangles pave the way to magnetic carbon materials

Graphene triangles with an edge length of only a few atoms behave like peculiar quantum magnets. When two of these nano-triangles are joined, a 'quantum entanglement' of their magnetic moments takes place: the structure becomes antiferromagnetic.

Researchers build sensor consisting of only 11 atoms

The sensor is capable of capturing magnetic waves and consists of an antenna, a readout capability, a reset button and a memory unit.

A remote control for neurons

Scientists synthesized three-dimensional fuzzy graphene on a nanowire template to create a superior material for photothermally stimulating cells.

Carbon nanotube transistors make the leap from lab to factory floor

Technique paves the way for more energy efficient, 3D microprocessors.
