Physicists found weak spots in ceramic/graphene composites
Sep 28, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Physicists and materials scientists from Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) found out the structures in nanomaterials made of ceramic and graphene plates, in which cracks appear most frequently. The results of the first trial of the model, that describes the found regularity, were...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: Tiny, biocompatible laser could function inside living tissues: Nanolaser has potential to treat neurological disorders or sense disease biomarkers

Giant exoplanet around tiny star challenges understanding of how planets form
Sep 27, 2019 (Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers has discovered the first large gas giant orbiting a small star. The planet was found orbiting the nearby red dwarf star GJ 3512. This discovery challenges scientists' very understanding of how planets form: low-mass stars should have less available material...

Nanocatalyst makes heavy work of formic acid
Sep 25, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Hydrogen occurs in nature as H2 molecules; however when deuterium isotopes--so called "heavy hydrogen"--are introduced, the result can be deuterium hydride (HD) or deuterium gas (D2). These compounds are useful starting materials in fine chemical production; however, the natural abundance of these gases is low...

Conductive AFM (C-AFM) measurements on a polished IC surface with multiple transistor contacts
Sep 24, 2019 (Application Note) Here is a new Application Note from Nanosurf on conductive AFM (C-AFM) measurements on a polished IC surface with multiple transistor contacts. Chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) is a standard manufacturing process employed in the semiconductor industry during the fabrication of integrated circuits and memory disks. When...

Tensile strength of carbon nanotubes depends on their chiral structures
Sep 18, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Single-walled carbon nanotubes should theoretically be extremely strong, but it remains unclear why their experimental tensile strengths are lower and vary among nanotubes. A team at Nagoya University, Kyoto University, and Aichi Institute of Technology directly measured the tensile strengths of individual structure-defined single-walled carbon...
