When materials are created on a nanometer scale — just a handful of atoms thick — even the thermal energy present at room ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Society's “Synthesis of Macromolecules” Department, under the direction of Director Tanja Weil, have developed a membrane just 20 nm thick that can efficiently ...

A nanometer (nm) is a unit of length in the metric system, defined as one billionth (10-9) of a meter (m). The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), making the ...

New research validates theoretical models about how elasticity is scale-dependent - in other words, the elastic properties of a material are not constant, but vary with the size of the piece of ...

When materials are created on a nanometer scale - just a handful of atoms thick - even the thermal energy present at room ...

On the nanometer scale, even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. New research ...

An atom of gold has a diameter of 0.000,000,000,144 m. To write this number in standard form: ...

Chinese scientists have developed the world’s most complex two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor microprocessor, with the chip set to enter pilot-scale production. Details of the chip, which is ...
