Washington DC (SPX) Oct 13, 2010Carbon nanotubes - long, hollow cylinders of carbon billionths of a meter in diameter - have many potential uses in nanotechnology, optics, electronics, and many other fields. The exact properties of nanotubes depend on their structure, and scientists as yet have little control over that structure, which is determined during the initial formation - or growth - of the nanotubes. In fact, sa ... more  
Cincinnati OH (SPX) Oct 13, 2010Until today, electronic devices could never have it all: high readability in bright sunlight and the ability to display high-speed content - then hold that image indefinitely with absolutely zero electrical power usage.

Berkeley CA (SPX) Oct 13, 2010Measuring a fuel cell's overall performance is relatively easy, but measuring its components individually as they work together is a challenge. That's because one of the best experimental techniques for investigating the details of an electrochemical device while it's operating is x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Traditional XPS works only in a vacuum, while fuel cells need gases under pr ... more |
