Using supercomputers to explore nuclear energy
(26 Jan 2010)
Ever wanted to see a nuclear reactor core in action? A new computer algorithm developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory allows scientists to view nuclear fission in much finer detail than ever ...

Argonne scientists discover mechanism behind superinsulation
(11 Jan 2010)
Discovery may lead to new types of electronics
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered the microscopic mechanism behind the phenomenon of superinsulation, the ability of certain materials to completely block the flow of electric current at low ...

Argonne scientists to control attractive force for nanoelectromechanical systems
(11 Dec 2009)
DARPA to provide funding to quell Casimir force
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are developing a way to control the Casimir force, a quantum mechanical force, which attracts objects when they are only hundred nanometers apart. "The Casimir force is so ...

Getting to the roots of lethal hairs
(05 Oct 2009)
Fine metal hairs, also called metal whiskers, on tin-plated copper cause short circuits in electronic components. An international team of researchers is finding out why they grow
A short circuit can be quite hairy: satellites have failed, a NASA computer centre was repeatedly paralysed and the US public heath authority recalled thousands of pacemakers - all because tin whiskers caused a short circuit in the electronic ...

Molecules on a string, and why size isn't the only thing that matters for data storage
(16 Sep 2009)
Physicists get a grip on slippery molecules, and learn how the shape of nanoscopic magnetic islands affect data storage
Molecules of hydrogen are difficult to steer with electric fields because of the symmetrical way that charges are distributed within them. But now researchers at ETH Zurich have found a clever technique to get a grip on the molecules. Their findings ...
