News A Dramatic Improvement in Electron Mobility by Using an Ultra-thin, Single-Crystalline Film of Germanium
“Researchers: Wen Hsin Chang, AIST Researcher, the Nanoelectronics Research Institute, Toshifumi Irisawa, Senior Researcher, 3D Integration System Group of the institute, and Tatsuro Maeda, Research Manager of the institute Summary The researchers have developed a method for fabricating a uniform …
“To get drones to fly around complicated obstacles in the dark by themselves, University of Cincinnati researchers are turning to the pros. Bats have evolved to use sound and echolocation to navigate and find food. Their sonar is so keen …
“We recently visited NextFlex, the flexible electronics manufacturing institute in Silicon Valley, where they developed a flexible prototype based on the Arduino Mini. Their mission is to make flexible electronics mainstream, opening up all kinds of new applications. How did …
“Marking a world first, researchers from the Étienne Jules Marey Institute of Movement Sciences (CNRS / Aix-Marseille Université) have drawn inspiration from birds to design an aerial robot capable of altering its profile during flight. To reduce its wingspan and navigate …
“Confined, insensitive light could improve lasers, solar cells Cheaper and more efficient photonic devices, such as lasers, optical fibers and other light sources, may be possible with confined light that is unaffected by imperfections in the material that confines it …
“Chinese scientists have discovered a new material that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, or superconduct upon heavy compression. In the research, scientists took a close look at molybdenum phosphide (MoP), a newly identified triply degenerate fermions material via application …
“”Normally it’s not a huge success that not a damn thing has happened after 120 days.” These words belong to Professor Peter Bøggild after a four-month period where a novel type of anticorrosion coating was tested. The nanomaterial graphene …
“In a recent study, scientists at the University of Oulu have developed a nanojunction, joining one of the most promising novel materials, molybdenum disulfide, with nickel. Graphene has undoubtedly been the most popular research subject of nanotechnology during recent years …
“Ever since NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft flew past Jupiter in March, 1979, scientists have wondered about the origin of Jupiter’s lightning. That encounter confirmed the existence of Jovian lightning, which had been theorized for centuries. But when the …
“Algorithm provides networks with the most current information available while avoiding data congestion. For wireless networks that share time-sensitive information on the fly, it’s not enough to transmit data quickly. That data also need to be fresh. Consider the …
