Excited atoms rush independently to new positions

How atoms react to a sudden burst of light shows scientists how the larger material might act in sensors, data storage devices, and more. Knowing the disordered path of atoms as they shift into a new order lets scientists develop control schemes for the vibrational motion of atoms.

A 2 nm sized nanomachine able to spin and transfer its rotational energy

Researchers have developed a new nanosized propeller which can act as gears. This propeller, when bound to a gold surface, can be activated through thermal, electrical or mechanical energy to spin unidirectionally either clockwise or counterclockwise. Its compatibility with solid state surfaces planar technology suggests this propeller can be used to build more efficient devices for electronics or mechanics applications.
