NIST Quantum Probe Enhances Electric Field Measurements
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Michigan have demonstrated a technique based on the quantum properties of atoms that directly links measurements of electric field strength to the International System of Units (SI).
Energy Storage for Flexible Electronic Devices
Researchers have found that crumpling a piece of graphene "paper" — a material formed by bonding together layers of the two-dimensional form of carbon — can yield new properties that could be useful for creating stretchable supercapacitors to store energy for flexible electronic devices.
Envisioning European Semiconductor Supremacy
The European Commission announced an effort last year to secure a solid share of semiconductor manufacturing for the European Union by 2020. Entitled EU 10|100|20, the initiative is being overseen by the European Nanoelectronics Initiative Advisory Council.
