New ‘twist’ for future electronics
Jan 17, 2025 (Nanowerk News) Imagine a future where your phone, computer or even a tiny wearable device can think and learn like the human brain – processing information faster, smarter and using less energy. A breakthrough approach developed at Flinders University and UNSW Sydney brings this vision closer to...
Nitrogen-doped porous carbon-supported catalysts boost conversion efficiency of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide
Jan 17, 2025 (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to convert carbon dioxide into useful chemicals and fuels could help address rising atmospheric CO2 levels while simultaneously producing valuable industrial feedstocks. The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to carbon monoxide is particularly attractive, as CO serves as a key building block for producing...
Astronomers observe real-time formation of black hole jets for the first time
Jan 17, 2025 (Nanowerk News) A large international team of scientists has observed a phenomenon that astronomers didn’t ever expect to see happen in real time. A new paper published in Astrophysical Journal Letters ("Late-time Radio Brightening and Emergence of a Radio Jet in the Changing-look AGN 1ES 1927+654") led...
X-rays illuminate an exotic material transformation
Jan 17, 2025 (Nanowerk News) A flash of light traps this material in an excited state indefinitely, and new experiments reveal how it happens. A dry material makes a great fire starter, and a soft material lends itself to a sweater. Batteries require materials that can store lots of energy,...
‘Brand new physics’ for next generation spintronics
Jan 17, 2025 (Nanowerk News) Our data-driven world demands more—more capacity, more efficiency, more computing power. To meet society’s insatiable need for electronic speed, physicists have been pushing the burgeoning field of spintronics. Traditional electronics use the charge of electrons to encode, store and transmit information. Spintronic devices utilize both...
Autonomous AI assistant to build nanostructures
Jan 16, 2025 (Nanowerk News) The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the surface of the material. Materials science utilises this factor to create certain properties by...
New chainmail-like 2D material could be the future of armor
Jan 16, 2025 (Nanowerk News) In a remarkable feat of chemistry, a Northwestern University-led research team has developed the first two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked material. Resembling the interlocking links in chainmail, the nanoscale material exhibits exceptional flexibility and strength. With further work, it holds promise for use in high-performance, light-weight...
