Professor Silva... view more... (2002-10-23)
Building blocks of the future
Structure and properties of carbon nanostructures The discovery in 1985 of fullerenes, tiny carbon balls of nanometer dimensions, ushered in a new era in international science. Only a few years later (1991) scientific interest also started to focus on so-called carbon nanotubes. The discovery of improved production methods (1996) has meanwhile... view more... (2002-12-05)
A mysterious change in the wave properties of electrons
The electrons of a perfect metallic surface move like free waves in a plane. Nevertheless, if atomic barriers are inserted, this may restrict their movement in one dimension, forming stationary waves such as those on the water surface in a bucket. view more (2004-09-30)
