The approach used by Nanusens is to reduce the sensor design by an order of magnitude from Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) with linear feature sizes of 1-2um to Nano ElectroMechanical Systems (NEMS) where the features are 0.3um. This reduces the ...
This efficient conversion of electrical energy to mechanical work reduces the need for dedicated electronic devices, thus enabling the creation of even smaller nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS) than currently used. "We set up our design so that a Joule ...
Using hydrogen for energy production is nothing new. But with his research, Carnegie Mellon University Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Ph.D. candidate Ajay Pisat hopes to unlock its full potential as a primary, mainstream energy storage medium by ...
A new way to precisely pattern nanomaterials has been revealed by researchers, who say that it could open a new path to the next generation of everyday electronic devices. Scientists at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have ...
Scientists have managed to design microscopic silk capsules that mimic, on a very small scale, the structure of silkworm cocoons. The capsules can serve as a protective environment for the transport of sensitive “cargo” such as natural silk proteins ...
