Caltech researchers design a new nanomesh material
— 24 Sep 2010 10:50 | TechnologyComputers, light bulbs, and even people generate heat - energy that ends up being wasted. With a thermoelectric device, which converts heat to electricity and vice versa, you can harness…
Caltech scientists solve decade-long mystery of nanopillar formations
— 23 Oct 2009 13:24 | TechnologyScientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have uncovered the physical mechanism by which arrays of nanoscale (billionths-of-a-metre) pillars can be grown on polymer…
Researchers putting a freeze on oscillator vibrations
— 18 Jun 2009 13:03 | TechnologyUniversity of Oregon physicists have successfully landed a one-two punch on a tiny glass sphere, refrigerating it in liquid helium and then dosing its perimeter with a laser beam, to…
Los Alamos scientists see new mechanism for superconductivity
— 24 Nov 2008 21:04 | PhysicsLos Alamos National Laboratory researchers have posited an explanation for superconductivity that may open the door to the discovery of new, unconventional forms of superconductivity…
New instrument puts new spin on superconductors
