Scientists have shown that it is now possible to simultaneously create highly reproductive three-dimensional silicon oxide nanodots on micrometric scale silicon films in only a few seconds. Scientists ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have demonstrated a way to sustain high supercurrents in wires in the presence of a large applied magnetic field -- a step which could greatly expand ...

It seems that our appetite for data is growing faster than ever, doubling every year. So researchers are always trying to find new solutions. This time, scientists from the National Institute of ...

CIC biomaGUNE has launched the e-DOTS project with funding of € 2.5 million from an Advanced Grant awarded by the European Research Council The project, led by Maurizio Prato, seeks to synthesize ...

With the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) threatening a ban or restrictions on magnetic toys, Nanodots is already looking at ways to make their products safer. Nanodots is introducing ...

A researcher has developed a computer chip that can store an unprecedented amount of data -- enough to hold an entire library's worth of information on a single chip. The new chip stems from a ...

Out of the many boron nitride (BN) structural forms, cubic-BN (c-BN) nanodots (NDs) offer the potential for a variety of new opportunities across a plethora of applications. Until now, experimental ...

The massive global challenge of storing digital data--storage needs reportedly double every year--may be met with a tiny yet powerful solution: magnetic particles just a few billionths of a meter ...

Scientists are developing tiny magnetic particles called nanodots that are only a few billionth of a meter in diameter. The nanodots are showing promise in decreasing the amount of data storage space ...
