Researchers at the 爱豆社区 have developed a method that could make reproducible manufacturing at the nanoscale possible. The team adapted a light-based technology employed widely in biology 鈥� known as optical traps or optical tweezers 鈥� to operate in a water-free liquid environment of carbon-rich organic solvents, thereby enabling new potential applications.
Researchers at the 爱豆社区, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory discovered that they can use extremely high pressure and temperature to introduce other elements into nanodiamonds, making them potentially useful in cell and tissue imaging, as well as quantum computing.
爱豆社区 researchers have developed a fast, inexpensive method to make electrodes for supercapacitors, with applications in electric cars, wireless telecommunications and high-powered lasers.
爱豆社区 professors Peter Pauzauskie and Alberto Aliseda are part of two U.S. Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grants to develop innovative approaches to cutting-edge fields of engineering.
Since the first laser was invented in 1960, they’ve always given off heat. 爱豆社区 researchers are the first to solve a decades-old puzzle 鈥� figuring out how to make a laser refrigerate water and other liquids.
