New Type of Inferometer for Biosensing at the Nanoscale

Nanoscale plasmonic interferometry is a method that integrates the fields of nanotechnology and plasmonics by manipulating the interaction between light and the electrons in metals. This novel technique could be used for the development of biosensors, which can conduct a complete blood workup using a single drop, or hand-held environmental sensors capable of instantly and simultaneously testing water for pesticides, E. coli and lead.

Insertion of Calcium Atoms Causes Graphene to Exhibit Superconductivity

Graphene is a single-atomic carbon sheet with a hexagonal honeycomb network. Graphene’s electrons take a unique electronic state, referred to as Dirac-cone, where they like they have no mass. This enables them to move rapidly, and gives graphene a high electrical conductivity. The flow of electrons without mass and resistance in graphene is significant as it demonstrates potential for a futuristic high-speed nanoelectronic device.

Critical Step Towards Development of New Nanotechnologies that Integrate Light with Electronics

Heterostructures formed by different three-dimensional semiconductors form the foundation for modern electronic and photonic devices. Now, University of Washington scientists have successfully combined two different ultrathin semiconductors — each just one layer of atoms thick and roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair — to make a new two-dimensional heterostructure with potential uses in clean energy and optically-active electronics. The team, led by Boeing Distinguished Associate Professor Xiaodong Xu, announced its findings in a paper published Feb. 12 in the journal Science.
