Advanced microscopy research at the US Department of Energy μ-ATOMS Energy Frontier Research Center reveals motifs of trace atoms in semiconductors, paving the way for new microelectronics designed atom by atom.
ZEISS, Germany, unveiled the Crossbeam 750 FIB-SEM for demanding sample preparation, providing a live “see while you mill” view to enable immediate feedback and uniform first-pass TEM lamellae without interruptions.
MIT engineers have developed a soft, flexible gel that dramatically changes its conductivity upon the application of light, a development that could impact human-machine interfaces, biocompatible devices, soft robotics, and more.
A new study shows that iron telluride, or FeTe, long thought to be a simple magnetic metal, is actually a superconductor when excess iron atoms are removed. Superconductors carry electricity with no energy loss as heat, enabling technologies such as MRI machines, particle accelerators and potentially quantum computers. Researchers found that extra iron atoms hidden […]
Researchers from St. Olaf College and Syracuse University have built mechanical computers made entirely of common materials that can perform simple calculations without electricity or batteries. Led by St. Olaf College physics professor Joey Paulsen, the team used steel springs and bars to create devices that store and process information by physically responding to motion […]
