Boosting brain-stimulating implants with nanowires
2015-10-12 16:15:02| Extremetech
Two groups at Lund university have come up with new technologies to enhance the performance of intra-neural electrode arrays. Making them compatible not just with the brain, but with each other, will be key to making better brain-machine interfaces.

Curly Nanowires catch more light than straight nanowires.
2015-09-15 14:31:11| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Researchers from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, have shown that twisting straight nanowires into springs can increase amount of light wires absorb by up to 23%. Absorbing more light is important because one application of nanowires is turning light into electricity. Enhanced light harvesting efficiency of nanosprings also opens opportunities to build nanoscale devices that power themselves. Results of this research are published in the journal Applied Optics, from The Optical Society.

Nanowires give 'solar fuel cell' efficiency a tenfold boost
2015-07-17 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] A solar cell that produces fuel rather than electricity. Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and FOM Foundation today present a very promising prototype of this in the journal Nature Communications. The material gallium phosphide enables their solar cell to produce the clean fuel hydrogen gas from liquid water. Processing the gallium phosphide in the form of very small nanowires is novel and helps to boost the yield by a factor of ten. And does so using t…
