Jul 25, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Powder-based laser beam melting (LPPF) is probably the best-known AM process and has great potential for industrial applications. But how can the limited range of materials for this process be circumvented and the market potential further expanded? This question was addressed by the IWM of...

Jul 25, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) The Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 was awarded for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics with one half to Arthur Ashkin 'for the optical tweezers and their application to biological systems'. What Ashkin had found back in the 1970s was that radiation pressure...

Home > Press > HKU physicists found signatures of highly entangled quantum matter The schematic plot of the numerical experiment. CREDIT The University of Hong Kong Abstract:A research team from the Department of Physics, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), discovered the clear evidence to characterise a highly entangled quantum...

Home > Press > How different cancer cells respond to drug-delivering nanoparticles: The findings of a large-scale screen could help researchers design nanoparticles that target specific types of cancer MIT researchers have identified biomarkers that predict whether different types of cancer cells will take up specific nanoparticles. In this image,...

Home > Press > The best semiconductor of them all? Researchers have found a material that can perform much better than silicon. The next step is finding practical and economic ways to make it A team of researchers say cubic boron arsenide is the best semiconductor material ever found, and...

Home > Press > Quantum computer works with more than zero and one: Quantum digits unlock more computational power with fewer quantum particles The Innsbruck quantum computer stores information in individual trapped calcium atoms, each of which has eight states, of which the scientists have used up to seven for...

Home > Press > Generating power where seawater and river water meet Researchers looked at the different types of materials that can be used in osmotic power generation. CREDIT Nano Research Energy, Tsinghua University Press Abstract:Scientists have known since the 1950s that it is theoretically possible to generate electricity through...

Jul 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Wireless charging roads equipped with energy storage systems are promising electric vehicle solutions by virtue of their strong advantages in time saving and reduced pressure on the existing power infrastructure, according to a paper by Cornell researchers published in Applied Energy ("Efficient energy management of...

Home > Press > Biology’s hardest working pigments and ‘MOFs’ might just save the climate: A range of processes that currently depend on fossil fuels but are really hard to electrify will depend on the development of genuinely clean fuels, and for that to happen, much more efficient catalysts wi...

Jul 23, 2022 (Nanowerk News) You don’t normally want to mix electricity and water, but electricity behaving like water has the potential to improve electronic devices. Recent work from the groups of engineer James Hone at Columbia and theoretical physicist Shaffique Adam at the National University of Singapore and Yale-NUS...
