This edition will be focused on the development and applications of state of the art and beyond molecular and atomic level computational techniques.…

Researchers from EPFL designed a new flash memory cell prototype that is made from graphene and Molybdenite (MoS2). They say that the new design is efficient, flexible, small and fast. The idea is that the unique electronic properties of MoS2 (it has an "idea energy band") are combined with graphene's excellent conductivity:…

Dear Readers,

Welcome to our new cross-disciplinary journal devoted to self-assembly and molecular electronics. These are the two pillars that are required to fulfill the dream of bottom-up nanotechnology. This journal will be open to both theoretical and experimental works coming from all walks of science and engineering: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Material Science, Mechanical, Electrical and Medical Engineering, Bio- and Nanotechnology. We envisage the journal as a part of a…

Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new graphene-based earphone-sized speaker - that can actually outperform the best earphones. They say that even with almost no specialized acoustic design, it performs comparably to a high quality commercial headsets (a Sennheiser MX-400 earphone, in fact). The graphene speaker is also highly efficient:…

Im Rahmen eines von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderten Projekts wird im AK Poröse Polymere in der Abteilung Kolloidchemie ab sofort ein/e Mitarbeiter/in zur Promotion gesucht.

Nanoporöse Polymere sollen bezüglich ihrer Anwendbarkeit für Aufgaben in der adsorptiven Wasseraufbereitung (Entfernung von Schwermetallen und anorg. Oxyanionen) untersucht werden. Neben der Untersuchung der Trenneigenschaften und der zugrunde liegenden, noch unzureichend verstandenden,…
