A research group headed by Professor Hui Wang and Associate Professor Zhigao Sheng from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported the synthesis of polyvinylpyrrolidone-directed nickel nanowires (PNNWs) via solvothermal technique supported by a strong magnetic field in a work published in Advanced Materials Interfaces.
Quantum computers hold the promise of performing certain tasks that are intractable even on the world’s most powerful supercomputers. In the future, scientists anticipate using quantum computing to emulate materials systems, simulate quantum chemistry, and optimize hard tasks, with impacts potentially spanning finance to pharmaceuticals.

In a warming world, coal can often seem the "bad guy." But we can do other things with coal besides burn it. A team at Ohio University used the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges-2 system to carry out a series of simulations showing how coal might eventually be converted to valuable - and carbon-neutral - materials like graphite and carbon nanotubes.
Researchers at Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin observed that when it comes to packing charge-acceptor molecules on the surface of semiconducting nanocrystals, more is really not better.
As semiconductor devices become ever smaller, researchers are exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials for potential applications in transistors and optoelectronics. Controlling the flow of electricity and heat through these materials is key to their functionality, but first we need to understand the details of those behaviors at atomic scales.
As technologies keep advancing at exponential rates and demand for new devices rises accordingly, miniaturizing systems into chips has become increasingly important. Microelectronics has changed the way we manipulate electricity, enabling sophisticated electronic products that are now an essential part of our daily lives.
A team from the University of Minnesota showcased the effective utilization of hybrid molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for growing strontium titanate (SrTiO3) without damaging the graphene substrate.

The precise control of micro-mechanical oscillators is fundamental to many contemporary technologies, from sensing and timing to radiofrequency filters in smartphones.
Did you know that silk fabric is made from … well, worm spit- The way that silkworms wind their cocoons from fibers in their slimy saliva is now helping scientists more easily make new biomedical materials.
A pressing quest in the field of nanoelectronics is the search for a material that could replace silicon. Graphene has seemed promising for decades.
Carnegie Mellon University's Yongxin (Leon) Zhao and the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Shih-Chi Chen have a big idea for manufacturing nanodevices.
Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals (Beijing) Co., Ltd. today officially launched its fully human heavy chain antibody platform, RenNano™. RenNano™ is the third member of the RenMice™ family, joining RenMab™ and RenLite®.
Innodisk, a global leader in industrial-grade storage and embedded peripherals is proud to announce its solution to issues faced by Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) applications relating to, and caused by the shortcomings of consumer DRAM.
