| Nanowire 'inks' enable paper-based printable electronics Posted: 03 Jan 2017 07:26 PM PST Thin films made from silver nanowires are 4,000 times more conductive than films made from other nanoparticle shapes, like spheres or microflakes, says a new study. The results indicate that conductive 'inks' made from silver nanowires may create functioning electronic circuits without applying high temperatures, enabling printable electronics on heat-sensitive materials like paper or plastic. |
| How to 3-D print your own sonic tractor beam Posted: 03 Jan 2017 09:23 AM PST After demonstrating the first acoustically driven tractor beam platform, researchers develop a simpler, cheaper version using 3-D printable parts and open-source electronic components for the maker community. |
| Tiny laser created using nanoparticles Posted: 03 Jan 2017 09:23 AM PST Researchers have developed a plasmonic nanolaser that operates at visible light frequencies and uses so-called dark lattice modes. |
| Think chicken: Think intelligent, caring and complex Posted: 03 Jan 2017 06:19 AM PST Chickens are not as clueless or 'bird-brained' as people believe them to be. They have distinct personalities and can outmaneuver one another. They know their place in the pecking order, and can reason by deduction, which is an ability that humans develop by the age of seven. Chicken intelligence is therefore unnecessarily underestimated and overshadowed by other avian groups. |
