Home > Press > Worlds first fiber-optic ultrasonic imaging probe for future nanoscale disease diagnostics Concept art showing the 3D mapping of microscopic objects by the phonon probe system. The optical fibre contains a metal layer on its tip and projects red laser light into the specimen CREDIT Dr Salvatore La Cavera Abstract: Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed an ultrasonic imaging system, which can be deployed on the tip of a hair-thin optical fibre, and will be inser...

Nanotechnology Now Home > Press > A silver lining for extreme electronics MSU researchers developed a process to create more resilient circuitry, which they demonstrated by creating a silver Spartan helmet. The circuit was designed by Jane Manfredi, an assistant professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Credit: Acta Materialia Inc./Elsevier Abstract: Tomorrows cutting-edge technology will need electronics that can tolerate extreme conditions. Thats why a group of researchers led by Michi...

Nanotechnology Now Home > Press > Simple robots, smart algorithms When sensors, communication, memory and computation are removed from a group of simple robots, certain sets of complex tasks can still be accomplished by leveraging the robots physical characteristics, a trait that a team of researchers led by Georgia Tech calls "task embodiment." CREDIT Shengkai Li, Georgia Tech Abstract: Anyone with children knows that while controlling one child can be hard, controlling many at once can be nea...

Vladimir Stegailov, HSE University professor CREDIT Vladimir Stegailov Abstract: Researchers from the HSE International Laboratory for Supercomputer Atomistic Modelling and Multi-scale Analysis, JIHT RAS and MIPT have compared the performance of popular molecular modelling programs on GPU accelerators produced by AMD and Nvidia. In a paper published by the International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications, the scholars ported LAMMPS on the new open-source GPU technology, AMD HIP,...
