The distinction between rings formed of the same material and linear chains is that although the molecular building blocks are similar, from a mathematical point of view, topologies of the two structures, that is, linear chain and ring, are distinct.
Supercapacitors have the ability to store more energy than batteries and are favored in the place of batteries due to their potential to charge quickly, largely because of the vertical graphene nanosheets (VGNs) that are huge and located close to each other.
A Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) researcher has been taking part in the development of a technique that establishes the density of defects in two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials because of measurements of spatial coherence of light that strike them.
Researchers at New York University Tandon School of Engineering report a new group of unclonable cyber security primitives composed of an economical nanomaterial with the maximum possible level of structural randomness.
Germanium nanoparticles with enhanced photoluminescence have been developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory, making them potentially promising materials for solar cells and imaging probes.
A team of researchers from North Carolina State University and the Air Force Research Laboratory have found out that a method meant to coat nickel nanoparticles with silica shells in reality fragments the material – forming a small core of oxidized nickel surrounded by smaller satellites embedded in a silica shell.
In the pursuit of miniaturization, researchers from the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics of the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), in South Korea, have partnered with researchers at the University of Birmingham and at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) to create flat lenses with the thickness of a credit card and with adjustable features.
Thanks to Lucas Güniat, the secrets of nanowires—the building blocks of quantum computers— have now been revealed. This accomplished speaker reported the results of his PhD research on nanowires in EPFL’s “My Thesis in 180 Seconds” contest.
Distinctive and attractive characteristics of carbon nanotubes such as high electrical conductivity, exceptionally lighter weight, and greater stability than steel will be suitable for a number of applications such as high-performance plastics, ultra-lightweight batteries, and medical implants.
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.
