Oct 22, 2020 (Nanowerk News) By expanding on existing designs for electrodes of ultra-thin solar panels, Stanford researchers and collaborators in Korea have developed a new architecture for OLED - organic light-emitting diode - displays that could enable televisions, smartphones and virtual or augmented reality devices with resolutions of up...

Home > Press > Multi-state data storage leaving binary behind: Stepping 'beyond binary' to store data in more than just 0s and 1sComputing consumes 8% of global electricity, largely in massive, factory-sized data centres. This already-unsustainable energy load that is doubling every decade. CREDIT Pixabay: Akela999Abstract:Electronic data is being...

Oct 22, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Holger Stark from the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen and his team have broken a crucial resolution barrier in cryo electron microscopy. For the first time, his group succeeded in observing individual atoms in a protein structure and taking the sharpest images...

Oct 21, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Chameleons can famously change their colors to camouflage themselves, communicate and regulate their temperature. Scientists have tried to replicate these color-changing properties for stealth technologies, anti-counterfeiting measures and electronic displays, but the materials have limitations. Now, researchers have developed a flexible film that changes color...
