Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Aalto University doctoral candidate Dennis Yeung and his research group have developed and tested a new type of technology that enables better compatibility between a prosthesis and the amputated area. The study (IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, "Co-adaptive control of bionic limbs via unsupervised adaptation...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Better understanding superconductors with Higgs spectroscopy Prof. Stefan Kaiser from TU Dresden awarded ERC Consolidator Grant
Home > Press > Better understanding superconductors with Higgs spectroscopy Prof. Stefan Kaiser from TU Dresden awarded ERC Consolidator GrantAbstract:Superconductivity is a macroscopic quantum state characterized by the disappearance of electrical resistance in materials at extremely low temperatures. Electrical currents can therefore flow through it without a constant drive being...
Cosmic flashes pinpointed to a surprising location in space
Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Astronomers have been surprised by the closest source of mysterious flashes in the sky called fast radio bursts. Precision measurements with radio telescopes reveal that the bursts are made among old stars, and in a way that no one was expecting. The source of the...
New technique opens door to cheaper semiconductors, higher chip yield
Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the NTU Singapore and the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM) have developed a technique to create a highly uniform and scalable semiconductor wafer, paving the way to higher chip yield and more cost-efficient semiconductors.

Biomolecular building blocks gripped by laser
Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Laser pulses that briefly grab hold of floating molecules and align them precisely in space – this may sound like an original but academic party trick, however the technique which the team led by DESY’s Jochen Küpper is now presenting in the scientific journal Nature...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: A unified theory of electrochemical energy storage: Bridging batteries and supercapacitors: There is a spectrum from chemical to physical retention of ions. Researchers say acknowledging and understanding it is the key to progress for energy storage technology

A new brain-computer interface with a flexible backing
Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Engineering researchers have invented an advanced brain-computer interface with a flexible and moldable backing and penetrating microneedles. Adding a flexible backing to this kind of brain-computer interface allows the device to more evenly conform to the brain’s complex curved surface and to more uniformly distribute...
3D printing giant nanotechnology models
Mar 19, 2022 (Nanowerk News) One challenge of researching nanotechnology is that you can’t manipulate the pieces with your hands. You can look at computer models, but it isn’t the same as tactile interaction. Models can be 3D printed, but this can be unrealistic for small high schools, universities, or...
