Researchers have now explored how this material interacts with light in the presence of strong magnetic fields. • Email to a friend • DNA is probably the most programmable biomaterial for creating a wide range of rationally designed and functionally enhanced nanostructures. The sophisticated, programmable, and addressable DNA nanostructures are strong candidates for constructing nanoelectronic devices. The size of DNA molecules is also key: DNA double-helix has a neighboring base pair distance of 0.34 nm and a diameter of 2.1 - 2.6 nm a, and thus DNA complex-based nanoelectronics may break the 5-nm processing limit of commercial silicon-based semiconductors. • Email to a friend • A team of physicists has found a way to describe and predict the processes on pyroelectric surfaces. • Email to a friend • Electronics that come out of printers make it possible to produce the circuits on all sorts of substrates, such as paper or plastic film - but there are still some hurdles to overcome. • Email to a friend • Researchers have created a novel plant-based energy storage device that in the near future could charge devices - even electric cars - within a few minutes. Furthermore, they say their devices are flexible, lightweight and cost-effective. • Email to a friend • Scientists propose a new mechanism to explain the resilience of superconductors after temporary exposure to a magnetic field, providing a potential route to lossless electricity transmission. • Email to a friend • |
