Scientists have discovered a new way to manipulate magnets with laser light pulses shorter than a trillionth of a second. • Email to a friend • Virtual reality software which allows researchers to 'walk' inside and analyse individual cells could be used to understand fundamental problems in biology and develop new treatments for disease. • Email to a friend • With computing already consuming 8% of global electricity, low-energy data-storage is a key priority. Next-generation 'multi-state' memory offers a highly energy efficient, low-cost, fast-access solution: stepping 'beyond binary' to store more data than just zeros and ones. • Email to a friend • Researchers have demonstrated that hybrid surface waves called surface phonon-polaritons provide enhanced thermal conductivity in nanoscale membranes. These surface waves can aid in the thermal management of nanostructured devices as conventional cooling methods reach their material-related limits. Surface phonon-polaritons will be particularly useful for heat conduction in silicon-based microelectronics and photonics applications. • Email to a friend • Twisting a monolayer and a bilayer sheet of graphene into a three-layer structure leads to new quantum mechanical states. • Email to a friend • When an optical fiber is immersed in liquid, a high temperature, high speed jet is discharged. Researchers expect this to be applied to medical treatment in the future. Now, a research team has explored this phenomenon further and revealed the reasons behind the jet formation. • Email to a friend • Pulsing liquid alloys for nanomaterials synthesis. • Email to a friend • |
