Newly discovered interstellar object ‘may be oldest comet ever seen’
Jul 11, 2025 A mystery interstellar object discovered last week is likely to be the oldest comet ever seen - possibly predating our solar system by more than three billion years, researchers say. (Nanowerk News) The "water ice-rich" visitor, named 3I/ATLAS, is only the third known object from beyond our...
Carbon nanotubes struggle to transfer heat efficiently in nanoelectronic devices
Jul 11, 2025 Experiments show that carbon nanotubes transfer heat inefficiently at small scales, raising concerns for cooling and performance in nanoelectronic devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Thermal energy in solid-state systems doesn’t flow as a smooth continuum but rather it moves through atomic vibrations known as phonons. At the nanoscale, where...
