Magnetic Attraction: Microchip Demonstrates Concept of 'MRAM for Biomolecules'
October 19, 2011 Researchers have developed a low-power microchip that uses a combination of microfluidics and magnetic switches to trap and transport magnetic beads. The novel transport chip may have applications in ... > full story -
Key Property of Potential 'Spintronic' Material Measured
October 19, 2011 An advanced material that could help bring about next-generation "spintronic" computers has revealed one of its fundamental secrets to a team of ... > full story -
Physicists Move One Step Closer to Quantum Computer
October 4, 2011 Physicists have created a tiny "electron superhighway" that could one day be useful for building a quantum computer -- a new type of computer that will use quantum particles in place of the digital ... > full story -
Redefining the Kilogram and the Ampere
September 29, 2011 New research using graphene presents the most precise measurements of the quantum Hall effect ever made, one of the key steps in the process to redefine two Système Internationale ... > full story -
Controlling Silicon Evaporation Allows Scientists to Boost Graphene Quality
September 22, 2011 Scientists have for the first time provided details of their "confinement controlled sublimation" technique for growing high-quality layers of epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide ... > full story -
Like Fish on Waves, Electrons Go Surfing
September 22, 2011 Physicists have succeeded in taking a decisive step towards the development of more powerful computers. They were able to define two little quantum dots (QDs), occupied with electrons, in a ... > full story -
Rotating Magnetic Moments: Spin Pumping Effect Demonstrated for First Time
September 12, 2011 Physicists have demonstrated the spin pumping effect in magnetic layers for the first time experimentally. The behavior of the spin pumping had previously only been predicted theoretically. ... > full story -
Nanoscale Spin Waves Can Replace Microwaves
September 7, 2011 Scientists have now demonstrated that theories about nanoscale spin waves agree with observations. This opens the way to replacing microwave technology in many applications, such as mobile phones and ... > full story -
Milky Way Galaxy Might Hold Thousands of Ticking 'Time Bombs'
September 6, 2011 In the Hollywood blockbuster "Speed," a bomb on a bus is rigged to blow up if the bus slows down below 50 miles per hour. The premise -- slow down and you explode -- makes for a great action movie ... > full story -
Innovation Is Step Toward Digital Graphene Transistors
September 6, 2011 Researchers are making progress in creating digital transistors using a material called graphene, potentially sidestepping an obstacle thought to dramatically limit the material's use in computers ... > full story
