Quantum simulation reveals mobility edge in a low-dimensional disordered landscape
A recent flood of research scholarship on electronic transport in low-dimensional (2D or 1D) materials like graphene or carbon nanotubes reflect the tremendous potential...
Helping the microchip industry go (very low) with the flow
A new study by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has uncovered a source of error in an industry-standard calibration...
New material could improve efficiency of computer processing
A team of researchers led by the University of Minnesota has developed a new material that could potentially improve the efficiency of computer processing...
Actuation Gives New Dimensions to an Old Material
One of the oldest, most versatile and inexpensive materials — paper — seemingly springs to life, bending, folding or flattening itself, by means of...
Electrostatic Discharge: How important is it?
The Role of ESD
In ordinary circumstances, static electricity is little more than an annoyance. However, in an increasingly technological and integrated age, that familiar...
Solvay expands offering of high-performance polymers for 3D-printing simulation
Solvay adds 10% carbon fiber filled KetaSpire® polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and neat Radel® polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) to e-Xstream engineering’s latest release (2019.0) of Digimat®-Additive Manufacturing (AM)...
New Materials Exhibit Split Personality
