For the first time, researchers have created solar cells made of different-sized quantum dots, each tuned to a specific wavelength of light. By arranging these quantum dots in an ordered pattern, the scientists hope that ...
Fifty years after the Nobel-prize winning explanation of how superconductors work, a research team from Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of Edinburgh and Cambridge University are suggesting another mechanism ...
In a recent experiment, published in Nature on November 9, Dr Matthias Meschke and professor Jukka Pekola from Helsinki University of Technology (Finland), together with Dr Wiebke Guichard from French CNRS, investigated heat ...
The first observation of "digital" or quantized heat flow in a nanostructure at ambient conditions has been made by Caltech researchers using carbon nanotubes suspended between two electrodes.
Oguzhan Gurlu and a group of scientists from University of Twente, Netherlands report about formation of Pt nanowires on Ge (001). Pt atoms adsorbed onto Ge(001) surface form extremely well-ordered nanowire arrays by self-organization ...
