A scientist has unveiled a working radio built from carbon nanotubes that are only a few atoms across, or almost 1,000 times smaller than today's radio technology. The nanotech device is a demodulator ...

Nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate and organize matter and structures from the atomic up to the molecular scales, is widely viewed as the most significant technological frontier being explored.

Molecular nanotechnology — or “nanotech” as it is popularly called — is the technology of manipulating materials at the molecular level or the “nanoscale (a nanometer spans only three or four atoms.)” ...

The Hall effect was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879 and has since been extensively applied in measurements, especially in materials sensing and characterization. Currently, it is being used to ...

The Hall effect was first discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879. Since then, it has been applied extensively in measurements, in particular, in materials characterization and sensing. More recently, it has ...

Researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand have found ways to control the spin transport in networks of the smallest electrical conductor known to man. By chemically attaching nano-particles ...

In RIT's microsystems engineering Ph.D., you’ll conduct research in nano-engineering, design methods, and technologies for micro- and nano-scaled systems. State-of-the-art Research Facilities: Labs ...

Is nanotechnology a myth borne of hype and marketing, or is it reality? The answer depends on your perspective. The general public may think that expectations are ridiculously high and the technology ...

Researchers in Switzerland have developed a new technique for joining nanotubes. One technique, called “nanorobotic” spot welding, uses molten copper to join up objects in the same way that a human ...

MADISON - In the time it takes to read this sentence, your fingernail will have grown one nanometer. That's one-billionth of a meter and it represents the scale at which electronics must be built if ...

A company called InvenSense has created a nano-gyroscope system for camera phones. Measuring a mere 3.5 millimeters, the chips filter out motion by sensing vibration mechanically. Whereas newer ...
