Development of World’s First Functional Polymer Nanowire Fabrication Technology by Pulsed Laser Irradiation
January 22, 2012 Scientists have selectively grown polymer nanowires using only irradiation with a pulsed laser, in a region limited to the area of irradiation. They also succeeded in imparting diverse ... > full story -
Bucky Balls for Next-Generation Spintronics Devices
January 20, 2012 The beauty of an electron’s spin is that it responds very rapidly to small magnetic fields. Such external magnetic fields can be used to reverse the direction of spin. In this way, information ... > full story -
Particle-Free Silver Ink Prints Small, High-Performance Electronics
January 13, 2012 Materials scientists have developed a new reactive silver ink for printing high-performance electronics on ubiquitous, low-cost materials such as flexible plastic, paper or fabric substrates. The ... > full story -
Nano Research Could Impact Flexible Electronic Devices
January 12, 2012 A new discovery shows that the flexibility and durability of carbon nanotube films and coatings are intimately linked to their electronic properties and could impact flexible electronic devices such ... > full story -
Slippery When Stacked: Theorists Quantify the Friction of Graphene
January 11, 2012 Similar to the way pavement, softened by a hot sun, will slow down a car, graphene slows down an object sliding across its surface. But stack the sheets and graphene gets more slippery, say theorists ... > full story -
Theory Explains How New Material Could Improve Electronic Shelf Life
January 9, 2012 Engineers have discovered that the new material graphene conducts heat about 20 times faster than silicon, making it an option as a semiconductor material that could produce quieter and ... > full story -
