July 27, 2021 Researchers have demonstrated a low-cost technique for retrieving nanowires from electronic devices that have reached the end of their utility and then using those nanowires in new devices. The work ...
Dec. 4, 2023 An international research team has achieved a breakthrough in the detection of protein ions: Due to their high energy sensitivity, superconducting nanowire detectors achieve almost 100% quantum ...
July 1, 2021 Scientists have been looking for half an electron as a basis for a quantum computer. They investigated a promising experimental setup just to find that the signals they measured were not telling the ...
Apr. 21, 2023 Scientists have demonstrated nanowire networks can exhibit both short- and long-term memory like the human ...
Dec. 10, 2021 Engineers have developed a lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) nanowire-based field emission gun that is installable on an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope (TEM). This combined unit is ...
Oct. 25, 2023 Researchers have built a superconducting camera containing 400,000 pixels -- 400 times more than any other device of its type. Having more pixels could open up many new applications in science and ...
Nov. 25, 2021 Researchers describe a revolutionary imaging technology that compresses lamp light into a nanometer-sized spot. It holds that light at the end of a silver nanowire like a Hogwarts student practicing ...
Feb. 24, 2022 Researchers show that certain proteins can act as efficient electrical conductors. In fact, these tiny protein wires may have better conductance properties than similar nanowires composed of DNA, ...
Feb. 7, 2022 Nanowires have a unique property: These ultra-thin wires can sustain very high elastic strains without damaging the crystal structure of the material. A team of researchers has now succeeded in ...
Mar. 22, 2023 Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver ...
