Despite slower growth, acceleration/yaw sensors—which are accelerometers and gyroscope devices primarily made with microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology—reached record-high sales of $2.54 billion in 2012, surpassing the previous peak ...
A research team consisting of scientists from the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN), National Physical Laboratory, University of Edinburgh, University of Oxford, Freie Universität Berlin and IBM, have now used a combination of nanoscale imaging, ...
Physicists Let Magnetic Dipoles Interact On the Nanoscale for the First Time. May 15, 2013 — Physicists at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have found out how tiny islands of magnetic material align themselves when sorted on a regular lattice -- by ...
... is already also used in the manufacturing of carbon nanotubes. More experimentation and a better understanding could potentially lead to transforming paper-based structures into the atom-thick wonder nanomaterial, graphene. Source: Max Planck ...
Scientists have now succeeded in growing a unique carbon structure at the nanoscale that resembles a tiny twirled moustache. Their method might lead the way to the formation of more complex nano-networks. Researchers of the Electronic Properties of ...
