Penn Material Scientists Turn Light Into Electrical Current Using A Golden Nanoscale System (Medical News Today)
Material scientists at the Nano/Bio Interface Center of the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated the transduction of optical radiation to electrical current in a molecular circuit. The system, an array of nano-sized molecules of gold, respond to electromagnetic waves by creating surface plasmons that induce and project electrical current across molecules, similar to that... »

Nanoimaging in 3-D (PhysOrg)
(PhysOrg.com) — As technology shrinks ever smaller, interest in objects and devices on the nanoscale becomes more apparent. However, visualizing these objects in three dimensions comes with special challenges. Alexander Govyadinov, a scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, points out that imaging nano-objects in 3-D typically requires measurements of the optical phase, a task... »
Transforming Nanowires Into Nano-Tools Using Cation Exchange Reactions (redOrbit)
A team of engineers from the University of Pennsylvania has transformed simple nanowires into reconfigurable materials and circuits, demonstrating a novel, self-assembling method for chemically creating nanoscale structures that are not possible to grow or obtain otherwise.The research team, using only chemical reactants, transformed semiconducting nanowires into a variety of useful, nanoscale … (read on…) Related... »
