Vibration in one direction only
Oct 11, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Electronic components such as transistors transmit electric currents in one direction only. What if we could create materials that could achieve similar effects for mechanical vibrations? For many applications, having materials that transmit vibrations in one direction, but not in the other, would be extremely...

Atomic-level imaging could offer roadmap to metals with new properties
Oct 09, 2019 (Nanowerk News) High-entropy alloys, which are made from nearly equal parts of several primary metals, could hold great potential for creating materials with superior mechanical properties. But with a practically unlimited number of possible combinations, one challenge for metallurgists is figuring out where to focus their research...

Location, Location, Location – How charge placement can control a self-assembled structure
Oct 08, 2019 (Nanowerk News) New, complex materials could lead to better tech to purify water or recover oil. Creating the right materials (often polymers) is difficult. For years, scientists have formed polymers using the interaction of charges on molecular chains to determine the shape, geometry, and other properties. Now,...
