If you thought you knew what high-res slow-motion video looks like, think again. Researchers have recently captured images of biomolecular activity so slowly and in such detail that, lined up into… Read more »
The atom-thick material, which scientists believe to be stronger than graphene, is notoriously difficult to make. A new paper out of Rice University gives one more reason to take an interest… Read more »
A new glass fabrication procedure produces glass surfaces that are significantly more water repellent and glare- proof, and the technology could be a good fit for smartphone displays. Read more »
Big Blue’s research plans calls for smaller silicon chips and a future in which silicon isn’t even necessary as it invests in other areas of exploratory manufacturing. Read more »
Graphene can be made in a high-temperature oven, where it grows on a sheet of metal. Researchers instead sandwiched a piece of metal between graphene to remove the need to transfer… Read more »
In a step toward post-silicon electronics, a Stanford team has created stable carbon nanotube transistors that are as small as the best silicon transistors. Read more »
The education center and accelerator, which focuses on exponential technologies with big potential, will begin raising capital in the second quarter of 2014. Read more »
Due to nanotubes’ natural qualities, they can convert even small amounts of light into heat, leading to no-battery-needed motion. Researchers think the system could be used to create smart curtains that… Read more »
