Watching Fluid Flow at Nanometer Scales: Tiny Nanowires Can Lift Liquids as Effectively as Tubes
April 1, 2013 — Imagine if you could drink a glass of water just by inserting a solid wire into it and sucking on it as though it were a soda straw. It turns out that if you were tiny enough, that method would work ... > full story -
Even Graphene Has Weak Spots
March 28, 2013 — Less-than-perfect sheets of atom-thick graphene show unexpected weakness, according to ... > full story -
Clays Can Expand Under Pressure
March 27, 2013 — It was always believed that water is "squeezed" out of the clay structure under pressure but physicists in Sweden together with German colleagues show that this appear to be not always true if excess ... > full story -
Super Batteries? Hybrid Ribbons a Gift for Powerful Batteries
March 25, 2013 — Ribbons of vanadium oxide and graphene become ultrafast charging and discharging electrodes for lithium-ion batteries in new research. The ribbons are thousands of times thinner than a sheet of ... > full story -
Fantastic Flash Memory Combines Graphene and Molybdenite
March 19, 2013 — Scientists have combined two materials with advantageous electronic properties -- graphene and molybdenite -- into a flash memory prototype that is very promising in terms of performance, size, ... > full story -
Smallest Vibration Sensor in the Quantum World
March 15, 2013 — Carbon nanotubes and magnetic molecules are considered building blocks of future nanoelectronic systems. Their electric and mechanical properties play an important role. Researchers have now found a ... > full story -
'Metasurfaces' to Usher in New Optical Technologies
March 14, 2013 — New optical technologies using "metasurfaces" capable of the ultra-efficient control of light are nearing commercialization, with potential applications including advanced solar cells, computers, ... > full story -
Surprising Control Over Photoelectrons from a Topological Insulator
March 13, 2013 — Electrons flowing swiftly across the surface of topological insulators (TIs) are "spin polarized," their spin and momentum locked. The potential to control electron distribution in spintronic devices ... > full story -
'Superheated' Water Can Corrode Diamonds
March 11, 2013 — Novel discovery paves the way to improve waste degradation and laser-assisted etching of ... > full story -
Long Predicted Atomic Collapse State Observed in Graphene
March 7, 2013 — Seventy years ago theorists predicted superlarge nuclei would exhibit a quantum-mechanical phenomenon known as "atomic collapse." Recently materials scientists calculated that highly-charged ... > full story
