Nathan wrote a new post, Two-dimensional dirac materials: Structure, properties, and rarity
The development of graphene is closely related to the unique electronic structure, that is, Dirac cones. The cone which represents linear energy dispersion at Fermi level gives graphene massless fermions, […]
Nathan wrote a new post, Light-powered gyroscope is world's smallest: Promises a powerful spin on navigation
A pair of light waves – one zipping clockwise the other counterclockwise around a microscopic track – may hold the key to creating the world’s smallest gyroscope: one a fraction of the width of a human hair. By […]
Nathan wrote a new post, 3-D neural structure guided with biocompatible nanofiber scaffolds and hydrogels
Damage to neural tissue is typically permanent and causes lasting disability in patients, but a new approach has recently been discovered that holds incredible potential to reconstruct neural tissue at high […]
Nathan wrote a new post, Nanoparticles provide novel way to apply drugs to dental plaque
Therapeutic agents intended to reduce dental plaque and prevent tooth decay are often removed by saliva and the act of swallowing before they can take effect. But a team of researchers has developed a way to […]

Nathan wrote a new post, Insight creates new memories in the brain
Scientists have visualized – for the first time – how the brain recombines memories of past events when these are complemented by new information. …read more Source:: Science Daily. Mind & Brain
Nathan wrote a new post, Negotiating: Careful Choice of Words Increases Chances of Success
When negotiating your next pay raise, haggling at the flea market or selling a used car, attention should be paid to the choice of words. Because the findings of a recent study revealed that proper wording can […]

Nathan wrote a new post, 3D imaging of objects with details as small as 25 nanometers
Scientists have created 3D images of tiny objects showing details down to 25 nanometres. In addition to the shape, the scientists determined how particular chemical elements were distributed in their sample and […]
Nathan wrote a new post, Fascinating quantum transport on a surface
Topological insulators are an exceptional group of materials. Their interior acts as an insulator, but the surface conducts electricity extremely well. Scientists now could measure this for the first time […]
Nathan wrote a new post, Wrapping carbon nanotubes in polymers enhances their performance
Scientists developed a technique that ‘exfoliates’ aggregated clumps of CNTs and disperses them in solvents. It involves wrapping the tubes in a polymer using a bond that does not involve the sharing of electrons. […]
