In cooperation with French and Greek researchers, scientists from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI have found a simple way to lower the production costs of nanoelectronics through controlled deformation of nanotubes and other tiny objects. Their findings were published in Nanotechnology. Musicians tighten their instrument strings to obtain a certain sound quality. A similar…
Electronic Devices Could Be Made from “Carbon Peas”
Scientists from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Russia) have studied the properties of fullerene nanotubes, also known as “carbon peas,” during stretching. The article on the project, which will help develop sophisticated nano-electronics, has been published in Diamond and Related Materials. Metals are known for their impressive electrical and thermal conductivity levels and their…
Ultrasounds Have Been Trained to Find, Kill Cancer Cells
A group of physicists and biologists from Russia under the supervision of National Research Nuclear University (MEPhI) Professor Viktor Timoshenko has learnt to use silicone nanoparticles for highlighting and destroying of cancer tumors with the help of the ultrasound, not harming healthy tissues, published in the journal Nanotechnology. “We have found a ‘part load’ mode”…
Pure Graphene Displays High Resistance to Ozonation
A group of scientists from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI in Russia and a series of foreign universities have developed an industrial technology for the purification of graphene, which has higher stability under the influence of aggressive oxygen free radicals. This discovery is of the crucial importance for the development of nanoelectronics. Graphene is…
