Sentences with phrase «molecular wires»

It works like a nano power switch, and makes the use of molecular wires in electronic components at the nano scale feasible.

Ironically, the new molecular wires aren't made with magnetic materials at all.

Next, Tour's group will try to link the coat of fullerenes together to form polymers, which might be used as molecular wires, since fullerenes can conduct electricity.

Using an innovative spectroscopic technique, they have been able to observe that, in the very restricted space in these channels, water molecules organize in a very regular manner, in an oriented molecular wire structure: the water has become «chiral.»

Researchers of MESA +, the research institute for nanotechnology of the University of Twente, in cooperation with researchers of the University of Strasbourg and Eindhoven University of Technology, are the first to successfully create perfect one - dimensional molecular wires of which the electrical conductivity can almost entirely be suppressed by a weak magnetic field at room temperature.

The mechanism that is responsible for ultra-high magnetoresistance in molecular wires is possibly closely related to the biological compass used by some migratory birds to find their bearings in the geomagnetic field.

Vahidi, N., Hirabayashi, M., Mehta, B, Khosla, A., and Kassegne, S., «Bionanoelectronics Platform with DNA Molecular Wires Attached to High Aspect - Ratio 3D Metal Microelectrodes», ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology 3 (3), Q29 - Q36 2014.

She says that there may be practical applications in the future — a commentary accompanying the paper suggests that the method could aid in the development of technologies such as molecular wires, atom - thick conductors that could help shrink electronic devices — but that their result concerns «extremely fundamental» physics that might be just as valuable for developing quantum intuition in the next generation of physicists.

In the original SBIR grant proposal, Kayyem and Meade had proposed two alternatives to their technology: one with the DNA embedded along with conducting polymers in a gel, and the other with the DNA linked to molecules called «molecular wires» that would in turn be attached to a gold - plated electrode.

The zeolite crystals containing the molecular wires were then placed on an electricity - conductive substrate.

Thirty years ago, Jacqueline Barton and her colleagues showed that DNA is able to conduct electricity like a molecular wire.

Researchers will probably also need to figure out ways to push higher electrical currents through the molecular wires to make magnetic sensors that can compete with current technology.

But now all those numbers pale in comparison, as a paper published online today in Science reports that molecular wires are capable of a 2000 % magnetoresistance change at room temperature.

Quantization results in the discrete character of physical properties at small scales, which could be the radius of an atomic orbit or the resistance of a molecular wire.

The scientists discovered that the current can be regulated via this molecular wire.
