For energy-storage devices, thin is in

Cell phones as thin and flex�ible as a sheet of paper. Energy-??storing house paint. Roll-??up touch screen dis�plays. But if any of them is to work, said North�eastern Uni�ver�sity mechan�ical and indus�trial engi�neering pro�fessor Yung Joon Jung, experts also need to create a thin and flex�ible energy-??storage system. His lab has devel�oped such a system.

Making a better invisibility cloak

The first functional 'cloaking' device reported by Duke University electrical engineers in 2006 worked like a charm, but it wasn't perfect. Now a member of that laboratory has developed a new design that ties up one of the major loose ends from the original device.

Study provides recipe for 'supercharging' atoms with X-ray laser

Researchers using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the U.S. Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have found a way to strip most of the electrons from xenon atoms, creating a 'supercharged', strongly positive state at energies previously thought too low.

Good connections to nanoelectronics with graphene nanoribbons

The electronics of the future could use molecules to do their arithmetic. The tiny particles could then take over the tasks which are presently done by silicon transistors, for example. Researchers from the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin have used a nanowire which could potentially conduct current between molecular transistors or different components.
