A team of researchers has discovered that copper and other metals can never form perfectly flat nanoscale films due to grain rotation. This discovery has significant implications for designing materials with improved electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties.
Researchers at AMBER Centre have fabricated the first printed transistors consisting entirely of 2-dimensional nanomaterials, opening the path for industry to cheaply print electronic devices. The breakthrough could unlock applications such as smart food packaging and labels, and even window panes displaying weather forecasts.
Researchers have created extremely sensitive sensors using graphene-infused silly putty, which can measure breathing, pulse, and blood pressure with unprecedented sensitivity. The material shows promise for applications in medical devices and diagnostics, offering a potentially inexpensive alternative to traditional sensors.
Trinity researchers have been awarded €4.4 million in European funding to develop a new class of magnetic materials enabling ultra-fast data transfer at unprecedented speeds. The TRANSPIRE project aims to lay the foundations for high-speed data networks of the future.
Researchers at Trinity College Dublin and Fudan University in Shanghai have discovered that electrons with no mass can acquire a mass in the presence of an extremely high magnetic field. This finding represents a significant breakthrough in fundamental physics, opening up new possibilities for research in high-energy physics.
