Has it become the time when finally batteries are out and the new and improved supertechnology comes to take their place and glory? It surely looks like it, or at least we are getting closer and closer to that moment, as scientists are making […]

North Carolina State University researchers put up a three-dimensional structure that consists of multiple bi-dimensional nanosheets impaled by a one-dimensional nanowire  of germanium sulfide. To create the heterosurface, the researchers begin by creating the nanowire 100 nanometers […]
