Researchers working under Juerg Leuthold, Professor of Photonics and Communications, have created the world's smallest integrated optical switch. Applying a small voltage causes an atom to ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using argon plasma, metal atoms can be dispersed and guided to desired positions.

Silver atom nanoclusters could become efficient biosensors Date: June 13, 2017 Source: Lund University Summary: Researchers have now managed to pinpoint what happens when light is absorbed by ...

Researchers have now managed to pinpoint what happens when light is absorbed by extremely small nanoclusters of silver atoms. The results may have useful application in the development of ...

Silver Fox launched its first Kickstarter campaign to bring the Atom Wrench into existence, and it stormed to victory earlier this month.

Silver is a metal in group IB of the periodic table with the atomic number 47 and an atomic weight of 107.87. Its density is 10.5 Mg/m 3 and its melting temperature is 960.8 C. Silver's electronic ...

Silver nitrate is a fairly simple molecule. One silver atom is attached to a grouping of one nitrogen atom and three oxygen atoms. This grouping forms a kind of ninja-throwing-star shape.

He reasoned that the outermost electron of a silver atom, which according to Bohr is orbiting the nucleus in a circle, is an electric charge in motion, and it should therefore produce magnetism.

A platinum pad sits just below a shaped silver pad. Apply a voltage, and a single silver atom moves from the top plate into the gap between the two plates.

Switching light with a silver atom Date: February 1, 2016 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: Researchers have created the world's smallest integrated optical switch. Applying a small voltage causes an ...

Researchers have created the world's smallest integrated optical switch. Applying a small voltage causes an atom to relocate, turning the switch on or off.
