Discovery comes as researchers set out to grow nanowires of a compound semiconductor on top of a sheet of graphene.
Micro-/Nanotechnology
Nanoparticle chain assembly observed in situ
Argonne scientists see nanoparticles form larger structures in real time.
Ultrathin transistors can be spread like butter
Cornell scientists develop a novel process of spreading extremely thin organic transistors, and used synchrotron X-rays to watch how the films crystallize.
Magneto-electric nanoparticles deliver anti-HIV drug to the brain
Nanoparticles can cross the blood-brain barrier and send a significantly increased level of AZTTP to HIV-infected cells.
High-performance capacitors could come from manganese dioxide nanorods
Fabricated nanorods are not only straight and tall (at least by nano-standards), but also have an optimal crystal structure.
Major study into the environmental effects of nanosilver
Swiss researchers show that nanosilver is quickly transformed into less problematic substances on its way to the wastewater treatment plant.
Nanosponge can suck poison from the bloodstream
Absorbent nanostructures can neutralize pore-forming toxins and remove a broad class of dangerous toxins.
Bozhi Tian awarded Searle Scholar grant for nanoelectronics research
Project is titled “Silicon-based Biomaterials for an Electrical Study of Single-Neuron Dynamics.”
Ultrathin optoelectronics help researchers explore the brain
Ultrathin, flexible optoelectronic devices – including LEDs the size of individual neurons – are lighting the way for scientists in optogenetics and beyond.
Single-atom germanium films could advance electronics research
Thin germanium films, with properties similar to graphene, could lead to lighter, faster electronics.
