Experiments show that carbon nanotubes transfer heat inefficiently at small scales, raising concerns for cooling and performance in nanoelectronic devices. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Thermal energy in solid ...

The crystal structure of these atomically thin materials makes them extremely sensitive to mechanical strain – tiny stretches or compressions of the atomic lattice. In principle, this strain ...

I-V characterization of nanoelectronic and moletronic devices requires low level current measurements in the nanoamp to femtoamp range. To complicate matters, these measurements are quite often made ...

A study published in Nature Communications Engineering reports a non-destructive method for examining structural deformations in nanosheets used in advanced electronic devices. Using a highly focused ...
