That’s a goal of a research team from the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Sandia National Laboratories. The research has captured the interest of chemists around the world pursuing methods of producing hydrogen from water. Read the rest of this entry »


Data Storage May Enter New Nanotech Phase

March 15, 2005

Toroid moment storage in nano-particles would be a true quantum leap in the area of data storage, say researchers. A new phase of matter exhibited in nanorods and nanodisks may enable a thousand-fold increase in memory and data storage. Itsy bitsy rods and disks may be able to store vast numbers of data bits.

A new phase of matter exhibited in nanorods and nanodisks may enable a thousand-fold increase in memory and data storage Latest News about Data Storage, say University of Arkansas physicists Ivan Naumov, Laurent Bellaiche and Huaxiang Fu.
