Understanding Nanotechnology Electronics Exploring how nanotechnology fits into electronics isn’t just for scientists—it’s shaping the devices we ...

Researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shown that a cloud of atoms can be used as a receiver to pick up video transmissions. The team demonstrated this ...

For the first time, a team of US researchers has used sensors containing highly excited Rydberg atoms to detect signals from ...

Scientists used a fast laser to wiggle atoms, temporarily altering material behavior, a step toward smaller, more efficient electronics like smartphones. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Michigan State ...

The coherence of quantum systems is the foundation upon which hardware for future information technologies is based. Quantum information is carried by units called quantum bits, or qubits. They can be ...

A new frontier in nanoscale and flexible electronics has emerged in the last decade, based on thin materials consisting of just a few layers of atoms. However, unlike conventional semiconductor ...

A transistor that controls the flow of atoms, rather than electrons, could be used as a model to probe the mysterious electrical property of superconductivity. “We can test concepts for quantum ...

Atoms generally whizz around with very high levels of energy – and it is this degree of activity that allows us to use the concept of temperature. When atoms have very low energy levels, they move ...

IBM has charged individual atoms to make ions, then reversed the process. Both states are stable, potentially allowing data to be stored. The work was done using a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) ...

The trend in recent years has been the atomization of previously familiar physical products; having turned them from atoms into software, some products are making the journey back into atoms. For ...

Wiggling atoms in new quantum materials could lead to more efficient electronics that are smaller and faster. These new materials have surprising properties and could be key elements for ...
