In a paper published in Nature Nanotechnology on March 23, 2020, researchers from the National University of Singapore reported the invention of a nanoscale device based on a unique material platform that can achieve optimal digital in-memory computing while being extremely energy efficient. The invention is also highly reproduceable and durable, unlike conventional organic electronic devices.
Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) scientists developed highly sensitive sensors based on cobalt oxide nanoflakes which are capable of detecting various alcohols in the air. The new sensors can be used for both medical diagnostics and detection of toxic methanol in the air.
MIT engineers are working on developing soft, flexible neural implants that can gently conform to the brain's contours and monitor activity over longer periods, without aggravating surrounding tissue. Such flexible electronics could be softer alternatives to existing metal-based electrodes designed to monitor brain activity, and may also be useful in brain implants that stimulate neural regions to ease symptoms of epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and severe depression.
Rice University theorists find that flexoelectric effects in double-walled carbon nanotubes could be highly useful for photovoltaic applications.
Stanford School of Engineering: As circuit interconnects shrink to nanoscale, will the pressure caused by thermal expansion when current flows through wires cause gold to behave more like a liquid than a solid -- making nanoelectronics unreliable? Fortunately, research suggests that chip designers can continue to put their faith in gold.
The world’s first color photograph seemed like a palette of colors on a silver plate. The photo was taken in 1848 by Edmond Becquerel, a French physicist.
Picosun Group reports excellent results in development of state-of-the-art photonics with its ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) equipment and solutions.
Photonic cavities are an essential part of many modern optical devices. The characterization of the plasmonic modes of these cavities is complex due to their tiny size, which makes access difficult by external signals.
EPFL scientists have created a new nanodevice that works around 100 times faster than the transistors used in computers, and over 10 times faster than that of existing fastest transistors.
A group of microbiologists at the University of Bayreuth has created a modular system to genetically reprogram bacteria and convert these pathogens into cell factories for multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles.
DNA cancer markers passing through the blood or serum of a patient can potentially be detected through graphene-based biosensors, which could usher in a period of liquid biopsy.
Graphite nanoplatelets embedded in plastic medical surfaces can prevent infections and kill 99.99% bacteria that attempt to latch.
The stiffening of a structure that surrounds the human cells can denote the invasion of cancer to other parts of tissues, just like how a picked lock reveals that someone has invaded a building.
