A new method in electron microscopy enables sub-20-picometer targeting of individual atoms without prior exposure, opening the door to atom-specific analysis and control. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

New ion beam fabrication uses low cost materials to form vertical nanomagnets whose nanostrip geometry boosts sensitivity to magnetic fields and current pulses. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at HZDR ...

An ever-handy device, a tractor beam from a Galaxy-class starship holds the small Delta Flyer spacecraft in place on "Star Trek: Voyager." Got a derelict spaceship you need to tow back to star base?

The core of this system is its optical power beaming platform, which uses a specialized 3-dimensional photovoltaic (PV) receiver paired with an LED light source. This setup not only allows for ...

LONG AFTER technical innovations have been turned into successful commercial products, clever people continue to dream up ways to improve and refine the inventions. Automobiles, computers, and ...

As the name implies, the Short Beam Shear test subjects a beam to bending, just as flexural testing methods do, but the beam is very short relative to its thickness. For example, ASTM D 2344 1 ...
