Sandwich-type gated mechanical break junctions | Nanotechnology

We introduce a new device architecture for the independent mechanical and electrostatic tuning of nanoscale charge transport. In contrast to previous gated mechanical break junctions with suspended source–drain electrodes, ...

Tunable-white-light-emitting nanowire sources | Nanotechnology

Tunable-white-light-emitting materials are developed by combining two single-crystal oxide nanowire materials—ZnO and SnO 2 —having different light emissions. The tuning of white-light emission from cool white to warm white is achieved ...

But now the University of Chicago's Daniel Silevitch and Thomas Rosenbaum and Gabriel Aeppli of the London Centre for Nanotechnology (a joint enterprise of University and Imperial Colleges London) have filed a patent on a method that ...

New magnetic tuning method enhances data storage (Science Daily)

Researchers have developed a method for controlling the properties of magnets that could be used to improve the storage capacity of next-generation computer hard drives.

Magnetic Tuning Method Enhances Data Storage (redOrbit)

Image Caption: A magnetic crystal sits on the head of a dime for scale. Scientists exploit the randomness of the magnetic field in the crystal at the molecular level to control the properties of the magnet as a whole. The chip underneath the crystal is a magnetic sensor.
