Jason Trelewicz has been interested in the field of materials science since he was a young child, when his father — an engineer — would bring him to work. In the materials lab at his father’s workplace, Trelewicz would zoom in on material surfaces by using optical microscopes, intrigued by all the unique features he would see as light interacted with varied samples.
An international team from the Universities of Vienna, Tel Aviv and Duisburg-Essen has developed a nanomechanical hand to show the time of an electronic clock, by spinning a tiny cylinder using light.

According to Rice University researchers, an atom-thick film of boron could be the first pure 2D material that is capable of discharging visible and near-infrared light by triggering its plasmons.
Researchers from Imperial College London have developed a new method to write desired magnetic patterns onto nanowires, which could help computers to imitate the way human brain processes information. This new way to write magnetic information could present new opportunities for hardware neural networks.
In the immediate future, a main origin of reliability troubles in carbon nanotube (CNT)-based VLSI interconnects may be noise and crosstalk. Maintenance of signal integrity in integrated circuits (ICs) has been difficult due to the reduction of the size of components in IC to nanometer scale, in addition to high-density integration.
For the first time, researchers from the Northwestern University research team have captured the collision and fusing of organic nanoparticles on video.
Delft University of Technology spin-off VSPARTICLE enters the booming Chinese market with a radical technology that allows researchers to produce nanoparticles at the push of a button. VSPARTICLE’s nanoparticle gen...
Nanofabrication or the process of producing structures with nanoscale features is gaining in importance, specifically in the field of microelectronics.
When it comes to graphene research centers, one would be likely to think of Manchester (UK) where the National Graphene Institute (NGI) has its own center and is in the process of building a second– The Graphene Engineering and Innovation Centre (GEIC).

Millions of Americans suffer from neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Researchers have identified new treatments, such as cerebrolysin, which are promising, but present clinical approaches are ineffective as critical concentrations of the drug dissipate within the body prior to reaching the central nervous system and brain.
Since the late 60´s electronic gadgets have stored and transmitted information (bits) in 2D circuits. Recently, a team of researchers at the University of Cambridge have been able to cross this barrier by developing a nanoscale magnetic circuit that can move information along the three dimensions of space.
Even with pre-operative imaging methods, surgeons still depend on visual inspection in order to located malignant tissues during surgery.
Micro- and nanostructures found in the wings of a jet black butterfly native to Asia help optimize light absorption, a principle which German scientists have applied to photovoltaics to boost their light harvesting ability and increase solar cell efficiency.
