  • USC researchers print dense lattice of transparent nanotube transistors on flexible base

    ... heat-vulnerable transparent plastic substrates. The researchers not only created printed circuit lattices of nanotube-based transistors to the transparent plastic but also additionally connected ...
  • Researchers Print Dense Lattice Of Transparent Nanotube Transistors On Flexible Base

    ... , colorless disk about 5 inches in diameter that bends and twists like a playing card, with a lattice of more than 20,000 nanotube transistors capable of high-performance electronics printed upon it ...
  • Disorder enables extreme sensitivity in piezoelectric materials

    ... for its special properties. Atoms in solids are usually arranged in a perfect crystal lattice, and they vibrate about these positions and propagate energy in the form of sound waves. In typical ...
  • The photonic beetle

    ... – one that could manipulate light most efficiently – would have the same crystal structure as the lattice of carbon atoms in diamond. Diamonds cannot be used as photonic crystals because their atoms ...
  • How to make microwaves on a chip to replace X-rays for medical imaging and security

    ... , and a high-power, high-frequency signal can be read out somewhere in the middle of the lattice. According to computer simulations by Afshari and Bhat, the process can be implemented on a common ...
  • Surprising graphene

    ... low-energy region. "This unexpected absorption may stem from interactions between electrons and lattice vibrational modes of the carbon atoms, or from mutual interactions among electrons," says Li. ...
  • UC San Diego physicists reveal secrets of newest form of carbon

    ... their study shows that the electrons in graphene strongly interact not only with the honeycomb lattice, but also with each other. "Infrared and optical experiments are capable of providing some of ...
  • Fair trade

    ... assumed that the presence of oxygen—either in the gas phase or bound to the crystal lattice of the catalyst—is required for such reactions. Says Weckhuysen: "We are reporting for the first time a ...
  • New technique to optimize computer speed

    ... at the Centre d`élaboration de matériaux et d`études structurales (CEMES-CNRS), it is possible to map deformation in a crystal lattice with a precision and resolution never previously attained.
  • A plane with wings of glass?

    ... materials crystallize as they cool, arranging their atoms into a highly regular pattern called a lattice. But although glass 'wants' to be a crystal, as it cools the atoms become jammed in a nearly ...
  • A phonon floodgate in monolayer carbon

    ... marks the interaction of the tunneling electrons with phonons, the quantized vibrations of the graphene lattice." Naturally occurring vibrations in the graphene sample are minimal for the Crommie ...
  • Penn researchers demonstrate a flexible, 1-step assembly of nanoscale structures

    ... spaced 2 μm apart on a square lattice. When exposed to the organic solvent toluene, PDMS ... wet state and snaps back to the original square lattice once the solvent evaporates. To capture the diamond ...
  • Scientists determine strength of 'liquid smoke'

    ... aerogel to capture stardust particles during NASA's Stardust mission. The new research shows that the lattice structure within aerogel is weaker than expected. The researchers saw a structure made up ...
  • New insight on superconductors

    ... Lee, to establish a long-sought connection between single impurities and lattice behavior in these materials. They found that the crucial temperature at which the Kondo liquid emerges depends in a ...
  • The amazing quantum world of ultra cold matter

    ... carried out in the EuroQUAM Programme, where laser beams are used to form 'optical lattices' that resemble crystals. Spanish Anchorman and former Minister of European Relations in the Spanish ...
