A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum ...

A Prototype switch built in nanoscopic level can increase efficiency of electronics devices by reducing the heat it generates ...

Scientists built a nano switch that controls excitons, chargeless quantum quasiparticles, at room temperature.

A new thermogalvanic device uses nanoparticles to control ion flow, allowing it to convert waste heat to electricity and store the energy without external batteries.

With advance warning, however, steps can be taken to reduce the risks. If an electrical grid is running near capacity, for ...
