One-Dimensional Nanomaterials for next generation electronics , optical communications and multi spectral detectors and cameras
Nanomaterials are often categorized based on number of dimensions of a material, which are outside the nanoscale (<100 nm) range. Accordingly, in one-dimensional nanomaterials (1D), one dimension is outside the nanoscale. This class includes nanofibers, nanotubes, nanorods, and nanowires. 1D materials are generally considered to be high‐capacity and stable electrode materials, due …

Researchers developing Vanishing or self destructing electronics to avoid being leaked or reverse engineered
In April 2001, a US Navy surveillance plane was intercepted by two Chinese F-8 fighter planes during a routine patrol flight over the Chinese South Sea. The US plane was forced to make an emergency landing in China, after what officials described as a “minor” midair collision, occurred with one of the Chinese planes. The US …
