Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have proven that is possible to move magnetic textures, or skyrmions, backwards and forwards between different positions billions of times, which could improve memory devices.“The spins are aligned in a way that if you walk through the hedgeh...

Memory chips may be able to perform tasks which were traditionally done by computer processors, according to Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore in collaboration with the RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Juelich research centre.According to the researchers, this means data could be processed where it is stored, leading...

A plasmonic nanolaser that operates at visible light frequencies and uses dark lattice modes has been made by researchers at Aalto University, Finland. The results are said to open new prospects for on chip coherent light sources.The laser is based on silver nanoparticles arranged in a periodic array. In contrast to conventional lasers, whe...

A transparent, self-healing, stretchable, conductive material has been developed by scientists at the University of California, Riverside and the University of Colorado, Boulder. The material can be activated electrically to power artificial muscles and could be used to improve batteries, electronic devices and robots.The researchers claim...

A fast and simple method to synthesise different types of copper based nanostructures has been developed by a team from the Nano-fabricated Energy Devices lab at the University of Tehran.By applying electric fields in ammonium hydroxide based solutions, shapes such as rod, flower and cube with an average grain size of 30nm to 1μm were obtain...
