Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Chaotic electrons heed limit in strange metals
Home > Press > Chaotic electrons heed limit in strange metalsAbstract:Electrons in metals try to behave like obedient motorists, but they end up more like bumper cars. They may be reckless drivers, but a new Cornell-led study confirms this chaos has a limit established by the laws of quantum mechanics....
Nanotechnology device can detect risk for serious complication during pregnancy
Aug 03, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from UCLA and Cedars-Sinai have developed a new way to detect a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur during pregnancy. The condition, placenta accreta spectrum disorder, occurs when the placenta grows too deeply into the uterine wall and fails to detach from the uterus...
