Everybody loves pasta, especially the spiral kind. But on the nanoscale, they just don't taste the same. Carbon nanotubes and nanofibers that look like nanoscale spiral pasta have completely different electronic properties than their non-spiraling edible cousins.A team of engineers at UC San Diego, and Clemson U... |

A recent discovery shows that nature can easily make the difference between the image and the mirror image of magnetic structures, on a nanoscale level.Physicists from Research Centre Jülich and the University of Hamburg have used both experimental work and computer simulations to detect a "homochiral" magnetic structure... |

It seems that nanoscale objects can be controlled with the use of light.Based on the quantum mechanical effects of light, optoelectronics is the study and application of electronic devices that interact with light, and thus is usually considered a sub-field of photonics. In this context, light often includes invisi... |

Virginia Tech, Pennsylvania State University, and Drexel University were awarded a potentially $7.5 million Multi-University Research Initiative (MURI) grant by the Army Research Office to develop electromechanical devices and high-performance membranes using ionic liquids. An ionic liquid is a liquid that contains... |

Everybody knows water is essential to all known forms of life, or that it covers almost three quarters of Earth's surface. It is found mostly in liquid state, but the other states, solid (ice) and gaseous (vapor), and their behavior were also well known to scientists.Well, it seems we didn't know everythin... |

A revolutionary new polymorphous microprocessor architecture will break all records in terms of processing speed, having the potential of reaching trillions of calculations per second. For the past seven years the research team, led by Professors Doug Burger, Stephen Keckler and Kathryn McKinley, has been working o... |
