Artificial Intelligence magnifies the utility of electron microscopes
Dec 17, 2021 (Nanowerk News) An AI framework enables Argonne scientists to improve a decades-old imaging technique. With resolution 1,000 times greater than a light microscope, electron microscopes are exceptionally good at imaging materials and detailing their properties. But like all technologies, they have some limitations. To overcome these limitations,...
Mind-controlled robots now one step closer
Dec 17, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Tetraplegic patients are prisoners of their own bodies, unable to speak or perform the slightest movement. Researchers have been working for years to develop systems that can help these patients carry out some tasks on their own. “People with a spinal cord injury often experience...
Unveiling substructures at the edge of the Galaxy
Dec 17, 2021 (Nanowerk News) An international team of astronomers has revealed a new map of the Milky Way’s outer disc showing remains of tidal arms excited from interactions with satellite galaxies in the distant past. The findings were published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society ("Kinematics...
Light-controlled spontaneous growth of nanostructures
Dec 17, 2021 (Nanowerk News) PhD student Marloes Bistervels from the Self-Organizing Matter research group at AMOLF has managed to use light to very precisely control the formation of nanocomposites in the shape of corals and vases. By illuminating a solution of the right ingredients with UV light, she can...
Magnetic ‘hedgehogs’ could store big data in a small space
Dec 17, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Atomic-scale magnetic patterns resembling a hedgehog’s spikes could result in hard disks with massively larger capacities than today’s devices, a new study suggests. The finding could help data centers keep up with the exponentially increasing demand for video and cloud data storage. In a study...
Binary mesocrystals from the nano-building kit
Dec 17, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Mesocrystals are a class of solids formed by the regular arrangement of nanocrystals, which are tiny nanoparticles that have unique properties due to their small size. In mesocrystals, these take on a highly organized, superordinate form in a densely packed grid. A German-Swiss research team...
Dynamic gating process observed at sub-2 nm speed in nanochannels
Dec 17, 2021 (Nanowerk News) In a recent study published in Matter ("Dynamically modulated gating process of nanoporous membrane at sub-2-nm speed"), Chinese researchers observed the dynamic gating process at sub-2 nm speed in nanochannels. Dr. ZHOU Yahong from Prof. JIANG Lei's team of the Technical Institute of Physics and...
