Tiny gold atomic arrangements called nanorods were found to be able to spontaneously assemble themselves into ring-like superstructures by a team at Rice University. Nanorods have dimensions of billionths of a meter (1,000 times less than a hair width). The nanorings could boost the development of new nanotechnologie... |

Scientists have created the world's first film that has practically no reflection. This is a breakthrough compared to current nonreflective materials, and the new technology could greatly improve solar cells, empower light-emitting diodes, and boost research in quantum mechanics by imitating a "black body," an o... |
