The merging of two technologies under development — plasmonics and nanophotonics — is promising the emergence of new “quantum information systems” far more powerful than today’s computers.
Lessons to be learned from nature could lead to the development of an artificial version of photosynthesis that would provide us with an absolutely clean and virtually inexhaustible energy source, say researchers.
Scientists are reporting development of the first self-powered nano-device that can transmit data wirelessly over long distances. Researchers say it proves the feasibility of a futuristic genre of tiny implantable medical sensors, airborne and stationa…
Recent measurements may have revealed the optimal characteristics for a new type of highly efficient computer memory now under development — nanowire-based charge-trapping memory devices.
