Rutgers-led research could benefit next-generation electronics

The researchers specifically focused on a rotational motor dubbed V1 that functions as part of a pump that moves sodium ions across the membrane as a part of healthy cellular processes

Oxide layer atop nanometal layer results in electron shuttle, not corrosion

Increased chemical stability and biocompatibility of the particles makes them useful for a number of applications, including sensing and biomedicine

The xperiment produced new material that can conduct electricity perfectly

First-of-its-kind nanogenerator designed by UCLA researchers and colleagues also acts as a weather station

The observation, called "fast negative breakdown," documents a new possible way for lightning to form

Sensor can monitor wiring in a building or ship, and signal when repairs are needed

The low-cost sensor is about the size of a button-cell watch battery
