An international team including scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) today publishes findings in the journal ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’ (PNAS) demonstrating the dr...
For two generations of physicists, it has been a standard belief that the neutron, an electrically neutral elementary particle and a primary component of an atom, actually carries a positive charge at its center and an o...
Scientists who dream of shrinking computers to the nanoscale look to atomic spin as one possible building block for both processor and memory, yet setting the spin of an atom, let alone measuring it, has been a challenge...

Twenty years after two IBM scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their invention of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), which opened the world to individual atoms for the first time, scientists and engineers...
Just as compact discs all but wiped out vinyl records, semiconductors could be on their way out, too.
A University of Houston professor has developed a similar ‘disruptive technology,’ using magnetic cellu...
An international team, including scientists from the London Center for Nanotechnology, has detected a hidden magnetic "quantum order" that extends over chains of 100 atoms in a ceramic without classical magneti...
A liquid that changes its color “on demand” and can take on any color of the rainbow one desires? A research team headed by Yadong Yin at the University of California, Riverside (USA) has now shared the secre...
University of California, Riverside nanotechnologists have succeeded in controlling the color of very small particles of iron oxide suspended in water simply by applying an external magnetic field to the solution. The di...
