Silicon device solves overheating problem in lab analysis technique
Scientists from the LCN, Imperial College London and the University of Buenos Aires have published the results of a study testing a silicon nano-device in the journal Nature Communications. This silicon nano-device can funnel laser light to a tightly focused spot...
Virtual Supercomputer Finds Clean Water Clue
An article published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology today discusses a recently discovered phenomenon in which the use of carbon nanotubes, under specific conditions, could potentially lead to more efficient water filtering with less expense and less impact on...
Large-scale simulations of atom dynamics
Researchers develop a new method for simulating previously unstudied complex matter An international research team has developed a highly efficient novel method for simulating the dynamics of very large systems potentially containing millions of atoms, up to 1000...
