Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University are using advanced microscopy to nanoengineer promising materials for computing and electronics in a beyond-Moore era. Historically, computers have become faster and more powerful by Moore’s Law, an observation that technology advances as transistor sizes...
Artificial muscles deliver sustainable cooling
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A new type of energy efficient, ecologically sustainable cooling technology that does not require the use of climate-damaging refrigerants is currently being developed by Professor Stefan Seelecke and his team at Saarland University. The new technology makes use of shape-memory materials that are also known...
Engineers develop nanoparticles that cross the blood-brain barrier
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) There are currently few good treatment options for glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer with a high fatality rate. One reason that the disease is so difficult to treat is that most chemotherapy drugs can’t penetrate the blood vessels that surround the brain. A...
Disruptive ideas needed to achieve sustainable flight by 2050
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Aerospace engineers don’t know the exact configuration and performance of a jet airplane powered by liquid hydrogen, but they do know that getting there by 2050 will take some big shifts from the conventional ways we design aircraft today. A recent study (AIAA Aviation Forum,...
Electronic quantum dance in molecules
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) An international research team led by DESY scientist Tim Laarmann has for the first time been able to monitor the quantum mechanically evolving electron charge distribution in glycine molecules via direct real-time measurement. The results – obtained at DESY´s brilliant free-electron laser FLASH – are...
‘Fruitcake’ structure observed in organic polymers
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have analysed the properties of an organic polymer with potential applications in flexible electronics and uncovered variations in hardness at the nanoscale, the first time such a fine structure has been observed in this type of material. The field of organic electronics has benefited...
Creating artificial intelligence that acts more human by ‘knowing that it knows’
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A research group from the Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University, has taken a big step towards creating a neural network with metamemory through a computer-based evolution experiment (Scientific Reports, "Evolution of metamemory based on self-reference to own memory in artificial neural network with neuromodulation")....
New ‘fabric’ converts motion into electricity
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a stretchable and waterproof âfabricâ that turns energy generated from body movements into electrical energy. A crucial component in the fabric is a polymer that, when pressed or squeezed, converts mechanical stress into electrical energy....
