Technology News- Exploring friction at the nanoscale by simulating toy-like systems May 24, 2013Scientists have studied the conditions in which at the nanoscopic level the switch from smooth sliding to stick-slip regime occurs, simulating 'toy-like' systems of 'cold ions'. […]
- Scientists build record-setting metamaterial flat lens May 24, 2013For the first time, scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new type of lens that bends and focuses ultraviolet (UV) light in such an unusual way that it can create ghostly, 3D images of objects that float in free space. The easy-to-build lens could lead to improved photolithography, nanoscale manip […]
- Nano-needles for cells May 24, 2013Nano-sized needles developed by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim can force medicine into cells, even when the cell membranes offer resistance. The needles will make it easier to study the effects of medicines on cells. […]
- Balance is key to making quantum-dot solar cells work May 24, 2013MIT team finds that the ratio of component atoms is vital to performance. […]
- A quantum simulator for magnetic materials May 23, 2013Physicists understand perfectly well why a fridge magnet sticks to certain metallic surfaces. But there are more exotic forms of magnetism whose properties remain unclear, despite decades of intense research. An important step towards filling these gaps comes now from Tilman Esslinger and his group at the Department of Physics. The team has developed a new k […]
