• Another tool in the nano toolbox: Scientists use electron beam to manipulate nanoparticles

    Updated: 2013-01-11 11:43:41
    (Phys.org)—Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale, holds great promise for everything from incredibly fast computers to chemical sensors that can sniff out cancer cells. But how does one go about building a device made of parts that are one-billionth of a meter in size?

  • Power Spintronics: converting magnetic energy to electric voltage efficiently and directly

    Updated: 2013-01-04 08:16:15
    : Home Introduction Power Spintronics : converting magnetic energy to electric voltage efficiently and directly Tweet Technical Researchers are suggesting a new application for Spintronics a highly efficient and direct conversion of magnetic energy to electric voltage by using magnetic nanostructures and manipulating the dynamics of magnetization . This conversion could be the foundation for future development of spin-based power electronics . The researchers call this power spintronics Using an experimental model , it was found that a power spintronics-based device may one day be a promising approach to obtaining alternating current AC voltages from direct current DC magnetic fields . The researchers demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of a device that generates a voltage

  • Hot paper: Layer-by-layer coating of alginate matrices with chitosan–alginate

    Updated: 2013-01-03 07:00:55
    It is postulated that probiotic bacteria play a role in maintaining good health and they have been shown to alleviate the symptoms of some common conditions such as traveller’s diarrhoea. If the bacteria are to be ingested orally, they must withstand an acid challenge in the stomach before they can reach the intestine to act. [...]

  • Hot paper: First thermodynamically-controlled synthesis of iron pyrite nanocrystals

    Updated: 2012-12-17 11:22:29
    Iron pyrite (fool’s gold, FeS2) has a high absorption coefficient and an indirect band gap of ~0.95 eV, making it a promising optoelectronic material. FeS2 is also abundant and non-toxic compared to commonly employed chalcogenides semiconductor materials. Photovoltaic investigations into FeS2 have not progressed as quickly as other materials because of its complicated synthesis control [...]
