New Nano Switch Channels Excitons at Room Temperature, Unlocks Faster, Cooler Computing University of Michigan engineers have created a new nanostructure that can guide and stop excitons at room temperature, paving the way for faster and cooler computing. Excitons, which are quasiparticles consisting of an electron and an electron hole bound together, are crucial for […]
Quasicrystals are not flukes: Here’s solid proof they’re real and stable
Quasicrystals are not flukes: Here’s solid proof they’re real and stable In normal crystals like salt or diamond, atoms are arranged in patterns that repeat over and over again, forming a predictable and symmetrical structure. However, quasicrystals break this conventional mold. These exotic materials have puzzled scientists since their discovery in the 1980s due to […]
US scientists harvest electrical energy from human movement to power 350 LED lights
Harnessing Human Energy: U.S. Scientists Power 350 LED Lights with Movement U.S. scientists have used inexpensive store-bought tape to craft a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), which is revolutionizing the way we think about energy production. By tapping into the kinetic energy generated by human movement, these innovative researchers have successfully powered an impressive 350 LED lights. […]
