The total removal of digital data is not easily achieved. A new application of electron beams provides a new way of achieving this. Removing information from an electronic device is not easy... Read more
New method to purify contaminated water Purifying water and greening nanotechnology could be as simple as shaking a vial of water and oil. At least that’s the case for a new method to... Read more
University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers have created a nanoscale device that can emit light as powerfully as an object 10,000 times its size. It’s an advance that could have huge imp... Read more
ETH researchers have realised a long-held dream: inspired by an industrial assembly line, they have developed a nanoscale production line for the assembly of biological molecules. Cars, plan... Read more
Temporarily violates the famous second law of thermodynamics, something that is impossible on human time and length scale. Objects with sizes in the nanometer range, such as the molecular bu... Read more
The development is significant because switching devices are at the heart of computing and communications technologies. By relentlessly miniaturizing a pre-World War II computer technology,... Read more
