Since the breakthrough discovery of the Majorana particle in 2012 in Delft, researchers faced great challenges. The group of professor Leo Kouwenhoven at QuTech and Microsoft collaborated with ...

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 ...

Researchers demonstrate high electrical conductance for an antiaromatic nickel complex -- an order of magnitude higher than for a similar aromatic complex. Since the conductance is also tunable by ...

Figure 1: Amino-acid sequence alignment of Slack and the C. elegans f08b12.3 translation product with the human Slo (hslo), the Drosophila Slo (dslo) and the murine Slo3 (mslo3). The activity of Slack ...

A gelatin memristor with 16 stable conductance states mimics biological pain perception, rating intensity, sensitizing after ...

A Georgia Tech physics group has discovered how and why the electrical conductance of metal nanowires changes as their length varies. In a collaborative investigation performed by an experimental team ...

Quantized conductance — whereby the current through a wire changes in a stepwise, rather than continuous manner — has been seen in very narrow ribbons of graphene for the first time. The discovery was ...

The electrical conductance at different locations on individual atoms has been measured by scientists in Japan. The experiment involved adding and removing electrons from atoms on a surface by using a ...

Researchers from SANKEN (The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research) at Osaka University have recently developed nanometer-scale molecular wires with periodic twists. Their study was ...

Residual CFTR function in cystic fibrosis was associated with better glucose tolerance and insulin secretion, with CFTR ...
