Researchers measure the electrical charge of nano particles July 30, 2012 A giant step in a miniature world: UZH researcher measures the electrical charge of nano particles Enlarge This is a cross-section through two chip-sized glass plates in which a nano particle is trapped in an energy hole (or “potential well” to use the scientific term). The colored fields show ... Read More »

Earlier this year, controversy surrounded ultrasound legislation in Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, and Idaho. Lost in the critical commentaries on abuses of patients’ and physicians’ rights was concern over a fundamental violation of liberty. This issue hasn’t gone away, even though sonogram coverage isn’t currently grabbing headlines. Medical experts routinely use ultrasound technology in ways that favor the Right ... Read More »

Since light is a wave, it should be possible to develop optical antennas capable of amplifying light signals in the same way as our televisions and mobile phones capture radio waves. However, since light oscillates a million times faster than radio waves, extremely small nanometer (nm) sized objects are needed to capture such very rapid light waves. Consequently, the optical ...

New-generation sensor combines lasers and mechanics The disk and the “cord” interact to allow ultra-sharp measures. (Phys.org) – Swiss scientists have developed a rapid, precise opto-mechanical measurement system that can be embedded into a silicon chip. This new technology could revolutionize the domain of sensors and atomic force microscopy. Resonators are used to detect infinitesimal quantities of matter in the ... Read More »

A research team at the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute has created a first-of-its-kind transistor that utilizes the electrostatic build-up of electrical charge on a strongly-correlated material’s surface to activate bulk transformation of electronic state. A schematic and an optical micrograph of a new transistor based on VO2 enabling electrical switching of the state of matter (credit: RIKEN) Activated by an ... Read More »

The project will consist of prototyping a suite of integrated tools, specifically targeted at microfluidics users in research and education, with the ambition of providing a sophisticated suite of intelligently co-ordinated capabilities. The suite will be based around a modern touch-screen interface enabling clear visualisation of data and virtual reconfiguration of the connected hardware such as pumps and valves. The ...
