Microscopy – beyond Moore’s Law

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...

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 ‘fabric’ 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....
