NIST/University Team Records Rare Glimpses of Light from Neutrons
Researchers from the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and four universities have made the first experimental observation of rare particles of light emitted during the radioactive decay of the neutron, a key building block of matter.   view more (2006-12-21)

Finnish SPIN researchers at forefront of development: Spintronics can bring electronics down to size
Researchers working on the room temperature spintronics (SPIN) research project are the first in Europe to successfully produce GaMnN layers, which are ferromagnetic at room temperature. The layer properties were examined using electric, optic, x-ray and positron measurements. The Academy-funded... view more (2005-03-17)

Video shows buckyballs form by 'shrink wrapping'
The birth secret of buckyballs -- hollow spheres of carbon no wider than a strand of DNA -- has been caught on tape by researchers at Sandia National Laboratory and Rice University. An electron microscope video and computer simulations show that "shrink-wrapping" is the key; buckyballs... view more (2007-10-29)

A new window into the deformation of nanoscale materials
Materials on the nanoscale don't always have the same properties they would in bulk; for one thing, nanomaterials are often a lot harder. Unlike most bulk materials, a crystal that is small enough can be perfect, free of defects, capable of achieving strength near its ideal theoretical limit.   view more (2006-08-14)

Debut of TEAM 0.5, the World's Best Microscope
TEAM 0.5, the world's most powerful transmission electron microscope - capable of producing images with half‑angstrom resolution (half a ten-billionth of a meter), less than the diameter of a single hydrogen atom - has been installed at the Department of Energy's National Center for... view more (2008-01-23)

World's fastest transistor approaches goal of terahertz device
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have again broken their own speed record for the world's fastest transistor. With a frequency of 845 gigahertz, their latest device is approximately 300 gigahertz faster than transistors built by other research groups, and approaches the... view more (2006-12-12)

New theory from University of Leicester scientists underpins drug development and food processing
Scientists at the University of Leicester have shown that the textbook explanation of how enzymes work is wrong - at least for some enzymes.   view more (2004-10-05)

NIST scientists use electron beam to unravel the secrets of an 'atomic switch'
Scientists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used a beam of electrons to move a single atom in a small molecule back and forth between two positions on a crystal surface, a significant step toward learning how to build an "atomic... view more (2006-08-21)

NEW APPROACH TO MASK-MAKING COULD RESULT IN FASTER COMPUTER CHIPS
British scientists have developed a revolutionary way to fabricate photomasks - a crucial component used in the manufacture of silicon chips. The technique could solve one of the most pressing problems in chip design - how to create increasingly narrow lines on the silicon wafer that form the... view more (1999-04-08)

Despite Britain's weather, the sun always shines on PV
Contrary to popular opinion, Britain's weather is suited to solar power, say researchers at the University of Oxford. In an independent test of the leading types of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, they are finding out which types of solar panels work best in Britain's often dull and varied climate.... view more (2001-05-24)

NRL generates, modulates, and electrically detects pure spin currents in silicon
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have generated, modulated and electrically detected a pure spin current in silicon, the semiconductor used most widely in the electronic device industry.   view more (2007-12-04)

Vitamin C and water not just healthy for people — healthy for plastics, too
Two new laboratory breakthroughs are poised to dramatically improve how plastics are made by assembling molecular chains more quickly and with less waste.   view more (2006-10-26)

Hidden order found in a quantum spin liquid
An international team, including scientists from the London Center for Nanotechnology, has detected a hidden magnetic "quantum order" that extends over chains of 100 atoms in a ceramic without classical magnetism. The findings, which are published today, July 26, by Science, have... view more (2007-07-27)

The sweet smell of nano-success
Materials scientists at Lehigh University and catalyst chemists at Cardiff University have uncovered secrets of the "nanoworld" that promise to lead to cleaner methods of producing, among other things, spices and perfumes.   view more (2006-01-30)

Long the Fixation of Physicists Worldwide, a Tiny Particle Is Found
After decades of intensive effort by both experimental and theoretical physicists worldwide, a tiny particle with no charge, a very low mass and a lifetime much shorter than a nanosecond, dubbed the "axion," has now been detected by the University at Buffalo physicist who first suggested... view more (2006-12-07)

Copper nanowires grown by new process create long-lasting displays
A new low-temperature, catalyst-free technique for growing copper nanowires has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois.
