- Building nanowires to connect future chips
- As computer chips are getting smaller and smaller, it becomes crucial to find new ways to connect them. Canadian researchers have developed a method to produce self-assembled nanowires that are 5,000 times longer than they are wide. They've been able to obtain nanowires measuring only 10 nanometers in width, but...

- Looking at the brain, neuron by neuron
- We still don't know much about how interact the billions of cells in our brains. But now, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign UIUC have developed new techniques for studying the brain's chemistry, neuron by neuron. With these techniques, they focused on the distribution of important molecules, such...
