A film capacitor that can take the heat

Dec 05, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and several collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a machine-learning technique to accelerate discovery of materials for film capacitors — crucial components in electrification and renewable energy technologies. The technique was used to screen a library of nearly 50,000 chemical...

Vertical transistor design enables stretchy bioelectronic devices to better interface with human tissue

Dec 05, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) The seamless integration of electronic devices with living tissue remains one of the most significant challenges in bioelectronics. Traditional electronic components are rigid and brittle, while biological tissues are soft and flexible. This fundamental mismatch has limited the development of advanced medical devices that can...

Scientists synchronize bacterial motion (w/video)

Dec 04, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Researchers at TU Delft have discovered that E. coli bacteria can synchronise their movements, creating order in seemingly random biological systems. By trapping individual bacteria in micro-engineered circular cavities and coupling these cavities through narrow channels, the team observed coordinated bacterial motion. Their findings, which...
