Researchers already knew that the thin films of carbon nanotubes have mechanical advantages and drivers, which could make them useful as  electrodes in solar cells, the solid-state lighting and electronic displays. However, studies have so far focused on how these films transmit more or less light in the visible, but [...]
RESEARCHERS LEVITATE OBJECT AT A MICROSCOPIC SCALE
| No Reviews |
Overall Rating:
|
Magicians have long created the illusion of levitating objects in the air. Now researchers at the National Institutes of Health and Harvard University have actually levitated an object, suspending it without the need for external support.
Working at the molecular level, the researchers relied on the tendency of certain combinations of molecules to repel each other [...]
