New Propulsion System Developed for Guided Nanotherapy

Monday, November 15th, 2010

A new propulsion method for metallic micro- and nano-objects has been developed by researchers from the Institute of Molecular Sciences (Institut des sciences moléculaires, CNRS/ENSCBP/Universités Bordeaux). The process is based on the novel concept of bipolar electrochemistry: under the influence of an electric field, one end of a metallic object ...

Organic Transistor Paves Way for Novel Neuro-Inspired Computers

Friday, January 29th, 2010

From the Wire: Researchers from CNRS and CEA have developed a transistor that can mimic the main functionalities of a synapse. This organic transistor, based on pentacene(4) and gold nanoparticles and known as a NOMFET (an acronym for "Nanoparticle Organic Memory Field-Effect Transistor"), has opened the way to new generations ...
