Pulses of light only one-quintillionth of a second long are to image the motion of an electron as a first step to understanding electron behaviour to enable petahertz superconducting computing. Computers operate at the speed of gigahertz, a billion cycles ...
Nanomaterials are defined as those that are less than 100nm in size. Traditional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) uses particles that are micrometres in diameter, but the pore size is in nanometres. In GC, the film thickness of the stationary ...
A new discovery about the way things stick together at the very small scale could help engineer micro- and nanoscale devices. In a series of papers, the latest of which appears in Scientific Reports, researchers show that miniscule differences in the ...
Hyperbolic metamaterials are artificially made structures that can be formed by depositing alternating thin layers of a conductor such as silver or graphene onto a substrate. One of their special ...
The key to microfluidics is that fluids in microliter quantities have an entirely different behavior compared to fluids on a macroscale. The applications of microfluidics is vast, ranging from early stage clinical analyses to the chemical syntheses of ...
