Researchers identified 14 new 1-D materials from over 780,000 crystals, including CuC2, the thinnest metallic nanowire stable at 0 K. These materials await synthesis.
Researchers propose a wave-based, programmable 'meta-computer' that performs various analog computations at the speed of electromagnetic waves, expanding possibilities for analog computing.
Physicists have calculated how suitable molecules can be stimulated by infrared light pulses to form tiny magnetic fields. If this is also successful in experiments, the principle could be used in quantum computer circuits.
The idea has been around for a while that selected segments of RNA or DNA could be used therapeutically to affect gene or cell function. The attraction for researchers is the flexibility that these therapeutic nucleic acids' (TNAs) versatility, programmability, and modularity affords them and shows a promising route towards treatment for a wide variety of disorders such as cancer, metabolic disorders, viral infections, cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. Due to the programmability ...
