Maxwell's electromagnetism extended to smaller scales

Scientists present a model that extends the validity of the macroscopic electromagnetism into the nano regime, bridging the scale gap.

Atomic-scale manufacturing method could enable ultra-efficient computers

Researchers have developed a new manufacturing process that could enable ultra-efficient atomic computers that store more data and consume 100 times less power.

New nano-spray gel could help take the bite out of frostbite

Researchers have developed a convenient gel that could be sprayed onto frostbite injuries when they occur, helping wounds heal.

Blueprint for nanomaterial development offers hope to newborns, elderly and busy doctors

Newborn babies, elderly people, sick hospital patients and sports enthusiasts all stand to gain from a breakthrough in the development of wearable technology using nanomaterials.

Combined technique measures nanostructures ten times better than before

Scientists have combined two techniques that are used to measure the structure of biomolecules, creating a method that is ten times more sensitive.

Self-driving microrobots

Engineers propose a strategy for microscale robots that can sense symptoms of a material defect and navigate autonomously to the defect site, where corrective actions could be performed.

New laser technique images quantum world in a trillionth of a second

Technique captures a process that commonly causes electrical resistance in materials while, in others, can cause the absence of resistance, or superconductivity.
