(PhysOrg.com) -- Audi has unveiled its new electric car concept, the Audi e-tron at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany. http://www.physorg.com/news173683325.html Technology Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:30:01 EST news173683325 (PhysOrg.com) -- For the first time, researchers have measured a long-theorized force that operates at distances so tiny they`re measured in billionths of a meter, which may have important applications in nanotechnology as scientists and engineers seek new ways to create devices far too small for the eye to see. http://www.physorg.com/news150557049.html Physics Wed, 07 Jan 2009 13:24:09 EST news150557049 Researchers at Boston University working with collaborators in Germany, France and Korea have developed a nanoscale torsion resonator that measures miniscule amounts of twisting or torque in a metallic nanowire. This device, the size of a speck of dust, might enable measurements of the untwisting of DNA and have applications in spintronics, fundamental physics, chemistry and biology. http://www.physorg.com/news144852574.html Nanotechnology Sun, 02 Nov 2008 12:49:34 EST news144852574 (PhysOrg.com) -- An experiment carried out at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) has realized spin torque switching of a nanomagnet as fast as the fundamental speed limit allows. Using this so-called ballistic switching future non-volatile magnetic memories could operate as fast as the fastest non-volatile memories. The experiments are described in the next issue of Physical Review Letters (22 August, 2008). http://www.physorg.com/news138272910.html Physics Mon, 18 Aug 2008 10:08:30 EST news138272910
