Tuncay Ozel et al. of Northwestern University demonstrated a core/shell semiconductor nanowire with an embedded plasmonic nanoring, which could not be fabricated by any previously known method, using templated electrochemical synthesis termed as coaxial lithography.

Professor Koh and his team at University of Texas at Arlington reported in Nature Communication a means of enabling electrons to transport at room temperature like electrons do at very low temperatures with little energy loss by passing electrons through an energy filter made of a quantum well. The team has received funding to apply the discovery to high-density transistors made in the form of nanopillars. Read the original reports: Nanotechnology [...]
NIST scientists prove that the propagation time of entanglement between two distant particles for sharing data across a quantum system grows only as a power of the system size instead of logarithmically. The finding implies that quantum processors will be slower than previously predicted. (Posted by Ed. Perkins, Y. Tzeng)
In honor of the 15th anniversary of President Clinton’s landmark speech announcing the National Nanotechnology Initiative, NNI launches multimedia contests.
December 16, 2014 - NIST Sensor Enables Self-calibrating AFM Pressure of light from an optical fiber sets an AFM tip vibrating, of which the movement is measured by an interferometer through another optical fiber giving a value of the probe 's stiffness as a means of self-calibration.
