May 22, 2023 (Nanowerk News) It takes chemist Liaisan Khasanova less than a minute to turn an ordinary silica glass tube into a printing nozzle for a very special 3D printer. The chemist inserts the capillary tube – which is just one millimetre thick – into a blue device, closes...
A new map reveals the complicated world in which cells seek to repair damaged DNA
May 22, 2023 (Nanowerk News) A diverse team of scientists, led by researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, have produced a novel map that depicts the human body’s enormously complicated and highly evolved system for addressing and repairing DNA damage — a cause and consequence of...
Quantum technology for mobile phone encryption is coming
May 22, 2023 (Nanowerk News) In a few years, protection of communication with quantum encryption may become a permanent fixture in mobile phones and thus protect communication from hacking. The technology has already been demonstrated in large data transfers in the financial sector in Denmark, and now DTU spin-out company...
Stretching metals at the atomic level allows researchers to create important materials for quantum, electronic, and spintronic applications
May 22, 2023 (Nanowerk News) A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a first-of-its-kind, breakthrough method that makes it easier to create high-quality metal oxide thin films out of “stubborn” metals that have historically been difficult to synthesize in an atomically precise manner. This research paves the way...
Deveoping advanced niobium-graphene batteries with unprecedented 30-year lifecycles
May 22, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Batteries play a crucial role in powering many modern devices, such as mobile phones, pacemakers, and electric vehicles. Yet, traditional lithium-ion batteries pose limitations such as safety risks, short life cycles, and long charging times. The pioneer niobium-graphene batteries developed by the Centre for Advanced...
