Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) An international research team led by DESY scientist Tim Laarmann has for the first time been able to monitor the quantum mechanically evolving electron charge distribution in glycine molecules via direct real-time measurement. The results – obtained at DESY´s brilliant free-electron laser FLASH – are...
‘Fruitcake’ structure observed in organic polymers
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have analysed the properties of an organic polymer with potential applications in flexible electronics and uncovered variations in hardness at the nanoscale, the first time such a fine structure has been observed in this type of material. The field of organic electronics has benefited...
Creating artificial intelligence that acts more human by ‘knowing that it knows’
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A research group from the Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University, has taken a big step towards creating a neural network with metamemory through a computer-based evolution experiment (Scientific Reports, "Evolution of metamemory based on self-reference to own memory in artificial neural network with neuromodulation")....
New ‘fabric’ converts motion into electricity
Jun 02, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a stretchable and waterproof âfabricâ that turns energy generated from body movements into electrical energy. A crucial component in the fabric is a polymer that, when pressed or squeezed, converts mechanical stress into electrical energy....

It’s a trap! Laser light ensnared by invisible bonds
Jun 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) In collaboration with the group of Professor Mordechai Segev (Technion, Israel Institute of Technology), physicists from the group of Professor Alexander Szameit (University of Rostock) have demonstrated a novel type of mechanism that can prevent light waves from spreading freely. So far, the underlying physical...
Bacteria-killing drills get an upgrade
Jun 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The latest iteration of nanoscale drills developed at Rice University are activated by visible light rather than ultraviolet (UV), as in earlier versions. These have also proven effective at killing bacteria through tests on real infections. Six variants of molecular machines were successfully tested by...
Astronomers find evidence of galactic metal shrouded in dust
Jun 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A thorough understanding of galaxy evolution depends in part on an accurate measurement of the abundance of metals in the intergalactic medium – the space between stars – but dust can impede observations in optical wavelengths. An international team of astronomers at the University of...
