When noble metals are treated with an aliphatic thiol, a uniform monolayer self-assembles on the surface; this phenomenon is interesting because the conducting molecules produce unique quantum ...

(Nanowerk News) A single batch of carbon nanotubes -- molecular carbon cylinders that may one day revolutionize electronics engineering -- often includes more than 100 types of tubes, each with ...

Figure 1: Conductance, structure and model of CoPc. Two regions of different behaviour can be distinguished. Initially the conductance drops below that of the clean surface (shown in pink). Once the ...

Engineers and physicists have developed a method of measuring how strain affects thin films of silicon that could lay the foundation for faster flexible electronics. University of Wisconsin-Madison ...

The factors that contribute to the uncertainty of battery life in a standby or stationary application are worsening as power networks try to handle new data and communication demands. Even in ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 15, 2018 -- When noble metals, like gold, are treated with an aliphatic thiol, like alkanethiol, a uniform monolayer -- a layer only one molecule deep -- self-assembles on the ...
