Nov 05, 2024 (Nanowerk News) In a leap toward more powerful and efficient computer chips, researchers at the University of Virginia have confirmed a key principle governing heat flow in thin metal films — a critical component in the race to design faster, smaller and more efficient devices. This work,...
High-quality nanomechanical resonators with built-in piezoelectricity
Nov 05, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and at the University of Magdeburg in Germany have developed a novel type of nanomechanical resonator that combines two important features: high mechanical quality and piezoelectricity. This development could open doors to new possibilities in quantum sensing...
