The new approach, which effectively eliminates the electrical signal processing altogether, is substantially simpler than existing techniques and could significantly drive down technology costs. • Email to a friend • Scientists discovered a new phase of nanoconfined water; separate water molecules that are confined within nanocavities formed by ions of cordierite crystal lattice. The discovered phenomenon can also find practical applications in ferroelectrics, artificial quantum systems, and biocompatible nanoelectronics. • Email to a friend • Periodically strained graphene harbors correlated electronic phases similar to those previously observed in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene. By precisely rotating two stacked sheets of graphene one can induce superconducting and insulating phases depending on the electric density. This behavior is extremely desirable because it significantly reduces energy losses in electronic devices making them more efficient and durable. Researchers have now proposed an alternative way to obtain similar phases. Their approach relies on periodically straining a graphene sheet rather than stacking layers on top of each other. • Email to a friend • Engineers have developed a system of nanoscale semiconductor strips that uses structural color interactions to eliminate the strips' intrinsic color entirely. • Email to a friend • Researchers propose a novel multiple-frequency triboelectric nanogenerator based on a water balloon to harvest water wave energy. • Email to a friend • Scientists present the first fully planar solar-pumped laser. With a thickness of a few millimeters and great scalability, this design breakthrough may herald the widespread adoption of eco-friendly solar-driven lasers. • Email to a friend • Using an alcohol mixture, researchers modified how ink droplets dry, enabling cheap industrial-scale printing of electronic devices at unprecedented scales. • Email to a friend • |
