MIT researchers set out to better understand cooling that occurs across a liquid-gas phase changes. In particular, to maximize cooling, the group varied the roughness of ... Read More »
UCLA researchers use a novel application of technology to develop a powerful microwave oscillator that may lead to cheaper and more efficient mobile communications... Read More »
Physicists from Rice University, Kyoto University and the Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute (JASRI) are offering new details about similarities between the... Read More »
Tightening or easing the tension on a drumhead will alter the drum sound. This is also the case for drumheads made from graphene. However, instead of changing the... Read More »
When purchasing a digital camera, one important measurement is the number of pixels on the camera's sensor. Historically, this is measured in megapixels, or... Read More »
The brain functions very differently from our current computational technologies; neuron linkages are much more complex, and information is sent in spikes of very small... Read More »
Nanotubes have remarkable electrical properties due to their specific hexagonal lattice structure. When trying to grow these tubes -- which are 50,000 times thinner than ... Read More »
Fireflies utilize a relatively well-understood chemical process to produce light -- but they can only glow certain colors. In an upcoming issue of Nano Letters... Read More »
Princeton researchers have demonstrated how entangled electrons are very "heavy" in certain crystals, and how this relates to superconductivity. A major problem in... Read More »
MIT researchers have developed a fuel cell that runs on a widely available compound: glucose. And where is glucose found in abundance? Inside the human body. The notion... Read More »
Superconduction and Bose-Einstein condensation are two of the most common and well-known "strange" phenomena in cold physics. On June 8th, two UC Berkeley physicist... Read More »
This week saw some changes in the Patexia’s content. One of the main changes is that your truly will be covering the bulk of the news developments -- this also... Read More »
Coaxial cable consists of an inner conducting wire, coated by a non-conducting dielectric, which is in turn coated by another conducting layer. This type of wire has... Read More »
Organic contaminants in various ecosystems can only be detected at very low concentrations. Research published from the University of Notre Dame could be beneficial... Read More »
Molybdenum disulphide is an indirect bandgap semiconductor in bulk, but a direct bandgap semiconductor as a single layer. Single-layer MoS2 could be used in a variety ... Read More »
Computex, the other international mobile device trade show, launched today in Taipei, Taiwan, and will no doubt keep the tech-news hungry occupied for the rest of the ... Read More »
One of graphene's unique properties is that it has zero bandgap, which effectively means that it will absorb light of any wavelength and frequency. University of... Read More »
The leading automotive microcontroller chip maker worldwide, Renesas Electronics Corp. (RNECF), may soon find themselves amidst some serious restructuring, as rumors... Read More »
Towards the end of last week, Freescale Semiconductors made an announcement that went surprisingly unnoticed by the tech community. In a press release on Thursday... Read More »
