The factors that contribute to the uncertainty of battery life in a standby or stationary application are worsening as power networks try to handle new data and communication demands. Even in ...

The development of personalized medicine—in which medical treatment is customized to an individual on the basis of genetic information—requires techniques that can sequence DNA quickly and cheaply.

Researchers demonstrate high electrical conductance for an antiaromatic nickel complex -- an order of magnitude higher than for a similar aromatic complex. Since the conductance is also tunable by ...

Since the breakthrough discovery of the Majorana particle in 2012 in Delft, researchers faced great challenges. The group of professor Leo Kouwenhoven at QuTech and Microsoft collaborated with ...

A Georgia Tech physics group has discovered how and why the electrical conductance of metal nanowires changes as their length varies. In a collaborative investigation performed by an experimental team ...

A gelatin memristor with 16 stable conductance states mimics biological pain perception, rating intensity, sensitizing after injury, and self-healing while directly controlling mouse muscle response.

Quantized conductance — whereby the current through a wire changes in a stepwise, rather than continuous manner — has been seen in very narrow ribbons of graphene for the first time. The discovery was ...

The electrical conductance at different locations on individual atoms has been measured by scientists in Japan. The experiment involved adding and removing electrons from atoms on a surface by using a ...

Researchers from SANKEN (The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research) at Osaka University have recently developed nanometer-scale molecular wires with periodic twists. Their study was ...

What is Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy? Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) is a non-contact scanning probe microscopy technique that enables high-resolution imaging of living cells and ...
