New technique could lead to new microprocessors that defy Moore's Law. • Email to a friend • Researchers have designed peptide nanoparticles that can each glow in a variety of colors, opening the door for many new biomedical applications. • Email to a friend • Scientists have succeeded in producing the first graphene ribbons whose crystal lattice contains both periodic pores and a regular pattern of nitrogen atoms. The structure of this new material resembles a ladder, with each rung containing two atoms of nitrogen. • Email to a friend • Researchers have developed a wood-based steam generator that, with the help of bacterial-produced nanomaterials, harnesses solar energy to purify water. • Email to a friend • Researchers have found a way to detect nanostructures buried under many layers of opaque material, using very high frequency sound waves induced by light. Their findings are promising in view of applications in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, such as wafer alignment. • Email to a friend • For many applications in electronics and energy technology, graphene must be combined with other materials: Since graphene is so thin, its properties drastically change when other materials are brought into direct contact with it. • Email to a friend • Researchers enhance the accuracy of X-ray free-electron laser measurements closer to the diameter of typical atoms than previously possible. • Email to a friend • |
