Tuning Nanomaterials with Pressure

Nanomaterials play a high role in today's electronic devices ranging from transistors all the way to lasers and solar-energy conversion devices. A new technique developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory could allow researchers to manipulate nanomaterials and their fundament... [ read more >> ]
