Sentences with phrase «microscopic structures on»

Using the new methods of micromachining, which borrow technology for making computer chips to carve out and build up microscopic structures on silicon wafers, Peter Gammel and his colleagues at Bell Labs / Lucent Technologies reduced three of the critical devices of a cell phone to Lilliputian size that will allow all the components of a phone to be constructed on a single chip.

Not exact matches

Looking back on it, I can definitely see the similarities in terms of what it takes to envision, manage, and build complex structures, whether that's accomplished on the enormous scale of a city or on the microscopic level of a semiconductor chip with billions of transistors.

This special issue addresses modern developments in controlling and manipulating light: how light - based technologies are shrinking and becoming faster (Koenderink et al., p. 516); how recent theoretical developments in the manipulation of light are being implemented to provide materials with properties not available in nature (Pendry et al., p. 521); how the quantum properties of light are being exploited in new technologies (Walmsley, p. 525); and how new light sources are coming online that can probe the structure of matter on spatial and time scales that provide an exquisitely detailed picture of our microscopic world (Miao et al., p. 530).

Prof. Peters with his research team are now developing a model that calculates the properties and behaviour of snow masses under high and low strain rates based on the structure of microscopic snow particles.

But it's only because it's on the microscopic level that this structure can overcome the problem of maintenance: the molecules that control the wheel and axle reach it by diffusing through the cell's cytoplasm.

On the scale of microscopic structures, we are virtually blind.

Francesco Panerai of Analytical Mechanical Associates Inc., a materials scientist leading a series of X-ray experiments at Berkeley Lab for NASA Ames Research Center, discusses a 3 - D visualization (shown on screens) of a heat shield material's microscopic structure in simulated spacecraft atmospheric entry conditions.

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and NASA are using X-rays to explore, via 3 - D visualizations, how the microscopic structures of spacecraft heat shield and parachute materials survive extreme temperatures and pressures, including simulated atmospheric entry conditions on Mars.

The latest breakthrough in superconductors, which will be published March 20 in Science, answers a key question on the microscopic electronic structure of cuprate superconductors, the most celebrated material family in our quest for true room - temperature superconductivity.

The cylindrical chamber has grips that serve like a vice to exert pressure on meteorite samples, and X-ray imaging can study how this compression, in combination with heat and pressure, affects their microscopic structure.

This ability to control waves derives from how the material is structured, often on a microscopic scale.

If a cause isn't found, a renal biopsy can be taken for histopathology so that types of cells and structure of the kidney can be analysed on a microscopic scale which may aid in the diagnosis; however, the renal biopsy isn't always reliable.
