Researchers synthesize carbon nanosolenoid with Riemann surfaces
Apr 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) It is known that Albert Einstein constructed equations of general relativity by adopting Riemann geometry. In addition to the key role it played in mathematics and physics, Riemann geometry has provided predictions for the properties of curved carbon materials. However, synthesis of such complicated carbon...

Quantum ‘shock absorbers’ allow perovskite to exhibit superfluorescence at room temperature
Apr 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Semiconducting perovskites that exhibit superfluorescence at room temperature do so due to built-in thermal “shock absorbers” which protect dipoles within the material from thermal interference. A new study (Nature Photonics, "Room Temperature Superfluorescence in Hybrid Perovskites and Its Origins") from North Carolina State University explores...

Perseverance analyzes the first sounds from Mars
Apr 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The NASA Perseverance rover, which has been exploring the Jezero Crater on Mars since February 2021, has recorded the acoustic environment of the red planet for the first time. Using the SuperCam microphone developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory and a consortium of French universities...
Estimates of the carbon cycle – vital to predicting climate change
Apr 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Virginia Tech researchers, in collaboration with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, have discovered that key parts of the global carbon cycle used to track movement of carbon dioxide in the environment are not correct, which could significantly alter conventional carbon cycle models. The estimate of how...
Accelerating write/erase cycles in all-optical magnetization switching
Apr 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) According to an estimate of IBM the current daily production of digital information exceeds 2.5 quintillion bytes (equivalent to about 50 million of dual-layer Blu-ray discs, which stacked on top of each other would be 60 km high) and continues to grow at a staggering...
Self-standing mesoporous Si film can power lithium-ion batteries
Mar 31, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Battery researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have developed a self-standing mesoporous silicon (Si) film anode for lithium-ion batteries (Journal of Power Sources, "Self-Standing Mesoporous Si Films as Anodes for Lithium-Ion Microbatteries"). This film electrode does not need carbon additives and binders to connect...
