One-way street for electrons

A team of physicists led by researchers from the University of Oldenburg, Germany, have recorded an ultrafast film of the directed energy transport between neighbouring molecules in a nanomaterial. Theoretical…

NIST sensor experts invent supercool mini thermometer

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have invented a miniature thermometer with big potential applications such as monitoring the temperature of processor chips in superconductor-based quantum…

Quantum tunneling pushes the limits of self-powered sensors

With just a 50-million-electron jumpstart, sensors can power themselves for more than a year. Shantanu Chakrabartty’s laboratory has been working to create sensors that can run on the least amount…

NIST designs a prototype fuel gauge for orbit

Liquids aren’t as well behaved in space as they are on Earth. Inside a spacecraft, microgravity allows liquids to freely slosh and float about. This behavior has made fuel quantity…

Material Analysis for the Global Energy Transition

Against the background of the global energy transition, the development of new technologies and characterization methods for thermochemical and electrochemical systems is becoming more significant. In context of the National…

Bipolar doping

New approach facilitates the control of reversible conductivity in semiconductors. The semiconductor gallium oxide is thought to be a promising candidate for potential use in power electronics. So far, however,…
