New Materials for Making "Spintronic" Devices
An interdisciplinary group of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has devised methods to make a new class of electronic devices based on a property of electrons known as "spin," rather than merely their electric charge. view more (2007-04-26)
Rice researchers unzip the future
Scientists at Rice University have found a simple way to create basic elements for aircraft, flat-screen TVs, electronics and other products that incorporate sheets of tough, electrically conductive material. view more (2009-04-16)
Nano-sandwich Triggers Novel Electron Behavior
A material just six atoms thick in which electrons appear to be guided by conflicting laws of physics depending on their direction of travel has been discovered by a team of physicists at the University of California, Davis. Working with computational models, the team has found that the electrons in a thin layer of vanadium dioxide sandwiched... view more... (2009-05-05)
SPRING "BLOCKBUSTER" MOVIE NOW SHOWING: Berkeley Scientists Produce First Live Action Movie of Individual Carbon Atoms in Action
Science fiction fans still have another two months of waiting for the new Star Trek movie, but fans of actual science can feast their eyes now on the first movie ever of carbon atoms moving along the edge of a graphene crystal. view more (2009-04-01)
Quantum hall effect observed at room temperature
Using the highest magnetic fields in the world, an international team of researchers has observed the quantum Hall effect - a much studied phenomenon of the quantum world - at room temperature. view more (2007-02-16)
Physicists tailor magnetic pairings in nanoscale semiconductors
Electrons love to zip around metals such as copper, especially if the metal is cooled to temperatures near absolute zero. But if they encounter a magnetic atom (say, iron) during their travels, the electrons will try to "screen," or cancel out, the magnetic atom's spin alignment by pairing with it. This pairing modifies the flow of... view more... (2007-03-15)
Graphite mimics iron's magnetism
Researchers of Eindhoven University of Technology and the Radboud University Nijmegen in The Netherlands show for the first time why ordinary graphite is a permanent magnet at room temperature. view more (2009-10-05)
Carbon nanotubes could make efficient solar cells
Using a carbon nanotube instead of traditional silicon, Cornell researchers have created the basic elements of a solar cell that hopefully will lead to much more efficient ways of converting light to electricity than now used in calculators and on rooftops. view more (2009-09-11)
MIT: Peeling stickers may lead to stretchable electronics
A study of stickers peeling from windows could lead to a new way to precisely control the fabrication of stretchable electronics, according to a team of researchers including one at MIT. view more (2009-06-16)
