Zero-power infrared digitizers based on plasmonically enhanced micromechanical photoswitches
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 969 (2017).
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.147
Authors: Zhenyun Qian, Sungho Kang, Vageeswar Rajaram, Cristian Cassella, Nicol E. McGruer & Matteo Rinaldi
State-of-the-art sensors use active electronics to detect and discriminate light, sound, vibration and other signals. They consume power constantly, even when there is no relevant data to be detected, which limits their lifetime and results in high costs of deployment and maintenance for unattended sensor networks. Here we propose a device concept that fundamentally breaks this paradigm—the sensors remain dormant with near-zero power consu...

A cautionary note on graphene anti-corrosion coatings
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 834 (2017).
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.187
Authors: Chenlong Cui, Alane Tarianna O. Lim & Jiaxing Huang
Despite graphene's apparent potential for anti-corrosion coatings, it is cathodic to most metals and can promote corrosion at exposed graphene–metal interfaces. This may accelerate dangerous localized corrosion that can seriously weaken the coated metals. (Source: Nature Nanotechnology)

All-electric control of donor nuclear spin qubits in silicon
Nature Nanotechnology 12, 958 (2017).
doi:10.1038/nnano.2017.154
Authors: Anthony J. Sigillito, Alexei M. Tyryshkin, Thomas Schenkel, Andrew A. Houck & Stephen A. Lyon
The electronic and nuclear spin degrees of freedom of donor impurities in silicon form ultra-coherent two-level systems that are potentially useful for applications in quantum information and are intrinsically compatible with industrial semiconductor processing. However, because of their smaller gyromagnetic ratios, nuclear spins are more difficult to manipulate than electron spins and are often considered too slow for quantum information process...
