(Nanowerk Spotlight) Electron pumps are devices that can transfer a certain number of electrons during each pumping cycle. Besides being of fundamental interest to physicists, single-electron pumps ...

For a little more than a century, chemists have believed that strong atomic links called covalent bonds are formed when atoms share one or more electron pairs. Now, researchers have made the first ...

(Nanowerk News) Carbon is not only the source material for all organic chemistry and life on Earth but also utilized in numerous operating or new technologies. The versatile bonding of carbon leads to ...

Coatings are required to remove or diminish the electrical charges that promptly accumulate in a nonconducting material when examined by a high-energy electron beam. Material samples investigated at ...

Novel approaches in solar energy conversion and storage require theories capable of describing electronic systems, sometimes strongly interacting, in a dissipative condensed phase environment. In ...

A pair of carbon nanotube arrays will be flying in space by the end of the year to test technology that could provide more efficient micro-propulsion for future spacecraft. The arrays will support ...
