Mar 08, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Scientists are getting better at making neurone-like junctions for computers that mimic the human brain’s random information processing, storage and recall. Fei Zhuge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and colleagues reviewed the latest developments in the design of these memristors for the journal Science...

Mar 08, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Scientists have found a way to control the size of special nanoparticles to optimize their use for both magnetic resonance and near-infrared imaging. Their approach could help surgeons use the same nanoparticles to visualize tumours just before and then during surgery using the two different...

Mar 08, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A RIKEN physicist and two colleagues have found that a wormhole—a bridge connecting distant regions of the Universe—helps to shed light on the mystery of what happens to information about matter consumed by black holes (Journal of High Energy Physics, "Replica wormholes for an evaporating...

Mar 08, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A new device harvests two types of energy during the daytime, making it cool on one end and hot on the other, to generate electricity around the clock. With further improvements, the device could be used in off-grid Internet-of-things sensors. The details were published in...

Mar 08, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, researchers at Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands have for the first time detected dimethyl ether in a planet-forming disc. With nine atoms, this is the largest molecule identified in such a disc to date. It is...

Mar 08, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Robotics engineers at South Korea’s Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) have developed and tested a new human-like mechanical hand that combines the benefits of existing ones while eliminating their weaknesses. The design is described in the journal Soft Robotics ("Shock Resistive Flexure-Based...

Mar 07, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Like the charged power suit worn by Black Panther of Marvel Comics, UCF researchers have advanced NASA technologies to develop a power suit for an electric car that is as strong as steel, lighter than aluminum and helps boosts the vehicle’s power capacity. The suit...
