Sep 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) The droplets are composed of a mixture of platinum and germanium and move on a heated substrate in the direction of the heat source. But as soon as the temperature lowers, the droplets start their special behaviour. Like professional skiers, they suddenly change their direction...
Magnetic whirls pave the way for energy-efficient computing
Sep 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Researchers of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the University of Konstanz in Germany as well as of Tohoku University in Japan have been able to increase the diffusion of magnetic whirls, so called skyrmions, by a factor of ten. The research results have been published...
A new way to create germ-killing light
Sep 11, 2023 (Nanowerk News) While it has long been known that ultraviolet (UV) light can help kill disease-causing pathogens, the COVID 19 pandemic has put a spotlight on how these technologies can rid environments of germs. However, the excimer lamps and LEDs that can directly emit light in the...
