Scientists have engineered a nanowire platform that mimics brain tissue to study astrocytes, the star-shaped cells critical for brain health, for the first time in their natural state. Astrocytes are ...

Scientists have demonstrated nanowire networks can exhibit both short- and long-term memory like the human brain. An international team led by scientists at the University of Sydney has demonstrated ...

Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are ultrafast, ultra-sensitive optical sensors that leverage the sudden transition from superconducting to resistive state in nanometre-scale ...

Nanowire transfer process. a) A single nanowire is picked up by the tapered polymer tip from a forest of nanowires on the growth substrate. The nanowire adheres to the tip due to the enhanced van der ...

(Nanowerk News) High resolution density, wide field of view (FoV), lightweight and compact formfactor, and low power consumption are demanding requirements for augmented reality (AR) and virtual ...

Like a collection of 'Pick Up Sticks', this neural network has passed a critical step for developing machine intelligence. For the first time, a physical neural network has successfully been shown to ...

Californian researchers have created a bio-friendly nano-sized light source capable of emitting coherent light across the visible spectrum. According to the researchers, this is 'the first ...

A new miniscule nitrogen dioxide sensor could help protect the environment from vehicle pollutants that cause lung disease and acid rain. Researchers from TMOS, the Australian Research Council Centre ...

Using electric fields rather than magnetic ones to control the spin of an electron, researchers in the Netherlands have developed a new flavour of qubit in an Indium Arsenide nanowire. The new ...

Nanowire networks mimic the networked structure of the human brain. But can they learn and remember like a human brain can? New research indicates they can. The brain’s powerful ability to process ...
