Carbon nanotubes for molecular magnetic resonances

June 9, 2013 – 9:01 pm
  • Carbon nanotubes for molecular magnetic resonances - Researchers at ICFO have developed a new technique for measuring very weak forces on a molecular scale. Thanks to the use of carbon nanotubes, they have achieved the highest level of sensitivity to date. These results published in Nature Nanotechnology open the door for magnetic resonance imaging of individual molecules.(10.1038/NNANO.2013.97)

    Graphene joins the race to redefine the ampere

    May 13, 2013 – 2:00 am
  • Graphene joins the race to redefine the ampere - A new joint innovation by the National Physical Laboratory and the University of Cambridge could pave the way for redefining the ampere in terms of fundamental constants of physics. The world's first graphene single-electron pump, described in a paper today in Nature Nanotechnology, provides the speed of electron flow needed to create a new standard for electrical current based on electron charge.(10.1038/nnano.2013.73)

    Harvesting energy from the sun

    February 25, 2013 – 5:00 pm
  • UC Santa Barbara scientists develop a whole new way of harvesting energy from the sun - A new method of harvesting the sun's energy is emerging, thanks to scientists at UC Santa Barbara's departments of chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials. Though still in its infancy, the research promises to convert sunlight into energy using a process based on metals that are more robust than many of the semiconductors used in conventional methods. The researchers' findings are published in the latest issue of the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
