Researchers have demonstrated a halogen-free method for building ultra-long carbon nanoribbons on copper surfaces, removing one of the persistent contamination problems that has limited molecular ...

Scientists used a fast laser to wiggle atoms, temporarily altering material behavior, a step toward smaller, more efficient electronics like smartphones. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Michigan State ...

Physicists developed a technique to arrange atoms in much closer proximity than previously possible, down to 50 nanometers. The group plans to use the method to manipulate atoms into configurations ...

Wiggling atoms in new quantum materials could lead to more efficient electronics that are smaller and faster. These new materials have surprising properties and could be key elements for ...
