Applying the Pareto Principle to sustainable engineering of cleanroom facilities

Cleanroom Technology
Originally formulated in economics, the Pareto Principle has proven its
versatility by finding applications in management, productivity enhancement and
sustainability. How can it help cleanroom operation? READ MORE



Bioinspired protection of sanitary fabrics from infections

AZoM
A novel substance has been created by the University of Barcelona and Catalan
Institute for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology researchers to combat the spread of
diseases, pathogens and antibiotic resistance. It may be used as a coating to
protect health care textiles and offers a practical substitute for frequently
used materials including paper, cotton, surgical masks and commercial plasters.

Direct observation and identification of nanoplastics in ocean water

Science Advances
Millions of tons of plastics enter the oceans yearly, and they can be fragmented
by ultraviolet and mechanical means into nanoplastics. Here, researchers report
the direct observation of nanoplastics in global ocean water leveraging a unique
shrinking surface bubble deposition technique. READ MORE




Practical quantum computing potential in graphene layers

IEEE Spectrum
Researchers at ETH Zurich have revealed exciting potential for bilayer graphene
to serve as a platform for quantum computing — with possibly longer coherence
time frames and potential for simpler quantum-logic gates. READ MORE



The role of architects in modern research spaces

Lab Manager
Designing research spaces is uniquely challenging. It's a delicate dance between
ensuring functionality, implementing innovative design, minimizing energy
consumption and staying on budget. READ MORE

Machine learning guides carbon nanotechnology

Phys.org
Carbon nanostructures could become easier to design and synthesize thanks to a
machine learning method that predicts how they grow on metal surfaces. The new
approach, developed by researchers at Japan's Tohoku University and China's
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, will make it easier to exploit the unique
chemical versatility of carbon nanotechnology. READ MORE



Giant enhancement of third harmonic generation in an array of graphene ribbons
using amplification of surface plasmon polaritons by optical gain

Scientific Reports
In this paper, researchers theoretically study the enhancement of third-harmonic
generation in a plasmonic structure composed of an array of trilayer graphene
ribbons sandwiched between two CaF2 layers. In fact, researchers suggest a new
method for more enhancement of nonlinearity in plasmonic structures using
incorporation of optical gain into graphene ribbons. READ MORE
