Modeling uncovers an 'atomic waltz' for atom manipulation

Scientists have uncovered a non-destructive mechanism to manipulate donor impurities within silicon using focused electron irradiation. In this novel indirect exchange process not one but two neighbouring silicon atoms are involved in a coordinated atomic 'waltz', which may open a path for the fabrication of solid-state qubits.

Nano-thin electronic paper displays brilliant colors

Using a previously researched, porous and nanostructured material, containing tungsten trioxide, gold and platinum, researchers tried a new tactic - inverting the design in such a way as to allow the colours to appear much more accurately on the screen.
