Graphene Tracks for Aluminum Trains: Nanomaterials Engineering
Aluminum clusters move along graphene tracks, controlled by applied electric currents, in work by Spanish and Dutch researchers.
Cover Story: More than Just Pretty! Well-Defined Catalysts for Fuel Cells
Systematic insights into well-defined platinum-alloy nanoparticles promise cheaper and more-efficient fuel cells.
Steel ab initio: Developing Complex Steels
A new and important development in complex steels is reported in the current issue of Steel Research International, dedicated to “Steel ab initio”.
New Diodes (Quantum) Tunnel Their Way To Improved Electronics
Researchers at Oregon State University develop cutting edge metal-insulator-metal diodes, harnessing quantum tunneling of electrons to increase performance of electronics.
Nanostructured, Functional and for Commercial Use
The sample size of nanomaterials with functional properties has been limited to just a few millimeters. This fact has limited their commercial use, so far.
Electronics made from ribbons
Tapered nano-sized ribbons have been made by tearing sheets of graphene from a sticky surface.
Patterned Graphene Growth
Graphene films grown over epitaxial metal films deposited on single-crystalline substrates give unique micropits with rectangular and triangular shapes, reflecting the crystallographic orientation of the substrate.
Inner Space
Metals encapsulated within carbon nanotubes by capillary action are prevented from crystallizing by the confined space of the nanotubes.
High-Performance Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered to be the next-generation reinforcement material to potentially replace conventional carbon fibers for producing superhigh-performance lightweight composites.
