The nanoscale engine — a trapped 40 Ca + ion — is approximately 10 billion times smaller than a car engine. It is electrically charged, which makes it easy to trap using electric fields. The working substance of the engine is the ion’s ‘intrinsic ...
1.1 What is friction? Take this everyday example: when a coffee mug rests on a flat table, the kinetic frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the mug across the table, so there is no need for a frictional force because there is nothing ...

By devising techniques to overcome the nanoscale defects that often undermine individual nanotube transistors (SN: 7/19/17), researchers have created the first computer chip that uses thousands of these switches to run programs. The prototype, described in ...
