A research to find the optimum conditions for the growth of GaN nanowires

Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA) Research Professor and Group Leader Jordi Arbiol and his team have recently moved to the ICN2. They have already signed a Nanoletters paper with their new affiliation where they have collaborated in the study, under different conditions, of the...

Nanopillar fabrication to lead to more efficient electronics

Seong Jin Koh Seong Jin Koh, an associate professor in the Materials Science & Engineering Department, has received a $300,000 National Science Foundation grant that could lead to a tenfold reduction in energy consumption of smart phones, laptops and tablets, which could result in an identical reduction in the frequency of battery charging for...

Engineers now understand how complex carbon nanostructures form

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are microscopic tubular structures that engineers "grow" through a process conducted in a high-temperature furnace. The forces that create the CNT structures known as "forests" often are unpredictable and are mostly left to chance. Now, a University of Missouri researcher has developed a way to predict how these complicated...
