Researchers observe highly excited ‘roaming’ energy pathway in chemical reactions
Feb 16, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Chemical reactions are supposed to occur along their minimum energy paths. In recent years, so-called roaming reactions that stray far from this path have begun to be observed, but only for chemical species in their ground state or, at most, their first excited state. However,...

First human trial shows graphene can be developed safely
Feb 16, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Graphene, a revolutionary nanomaterial with huge potential to tackle multiple global challenges could be developed further without acute risk to human health, research suggests. Carefully controlled inhalation of a specific type of graphene – the world’s thinnest, super strong and super flexible material – has...
New chip opens door to AI computing at light speed
Feb 16, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Penn Engineers have developed a new chip that uses light waves, rather than electricity, to perform the complex math essential to training artificial intelligence (AI). The chip has the potential to radically accelerate the processing speed of computers while also reducing their energy consumption. The...
Nanotechnology Now – Press Release: A batterys hopping ions remember where theyve been: Seen in atomic detail, the seemingly smooth flow of ions through a batterys electrolyte is surprisingly complicated
Home > Press > A batterys hopping ions remember where theyve been: Seen in atomic detail, the seemingly smooth flow of ions through a batterys electrolyte is surprisingly complicated Seen close-up, the flow of ions between battery electrodes is actually a series of erratic, atomic-scale hops. Experiments in a laser...
