Electrocatalysis under the atomic force microscope

ScienceDaily   -   General News Websites

A further development in atomic force microscopy now makes it possible to simultaneously image the height profile of nanometer-fine structures as well as the electric current and the frictional force at solid-liquid interfaces. A team has succeede...

In the world's smallest ball game, scientists throw and catch single atoms using light: Free-flying atoms could enable new type of quantum computer and the study of single-atom collisions

ScienceDaily   -   General News Websites

Researchers show that individual atoms can be caught and thrown using light. This is the first time an atom has been released from a trap -- or thrown -- and then caught by another trap. This technology could be used in quantum computing applicati...

Researchers develop novel silver nanowire transparent heating films

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

There are many sputtered metal film heaters on the market, but they are opaque and can only be used on the back of an anti-counterfeiting label. In addition, the heating rate is slow and the bending resistance is usually poor.

Shape memory achieved for nano-sized objects

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Alloys that can return to their original structure after being deformed have a so-called shape memory. This phenomenon and the resulting forces are used in many mechanical actuating systems, for example in generators or hydraulic pumps. However, i...
