Giant magnetoresistance systems examined by means of ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy
Terahertz spectroscopy enables the measurement of fundamental magnetotransport details and provides basis for advanced nanoelectronics.
A cool way to form 2-D conducting polymers using ice
Scientists develop breakthrough technique to easily optimize electrical properties of Polyaniline nanosheets to an unprecedented level in an environmental-friendly and inexpensive way.
Engineers give invisibility cloaks a slimmer design
In a new study, electrical engineers have designed a cloaking device that is both thin and does not alter the brightness of light around a hidden object. The technology behind this cloak will have more applications than invisibility, such as concentrating solar energy and increasing signal speed in optical communications.
A new approach to develop highly-potent drugs
A new approach to develop highly-potent drugs which could overcome current shortcomings of low drug efficacy and multi-drug resistance in the treatment of cancer as well as viral and bacterial infections.
Bats do it, dolphins do it. Now humans can do it too.
Physicists have used graphene to build lightweight ultrasonic loudspeakers and microphones, enabling people to mimic bats' or dolphins' ability to use sound to communicate and gauge the distance and speed of objects around them.
Using single molecules as sensors for ultrahigh-resolution 3D microscopy
Using a single molecule as a sensor, scientists have successfully imaged electric potential fields with unrivalled precision. The ultrahigh-resolution images provide information on the distribution of charges in the electron shells of single molecules and even atoms.
Nanotechnology center gets $9.8M Air Force grant to develop bioprogrammable nanomaterials
The goal is to develop solutions to challenging problems in the areas of energy, the environment, security and defense, as well as for developing ways to monitor and mitigate human stress.
Could black phosphorus be the next silicon?
New material could make it possible to pack more transistors on a chip, research suggests.
Tiny wires could provide a big energy boost
Yarns of niobium nanowire can make supercapacitors to provide a surge of energy when it's needed.
Crystal structure and magnetism - new insight into the fundamentals of solid state physics
Scientists decode relationship between magnetic interactions and the distortions in crystal structure within a geometrically 'frustrated' spinel system.
New technique enables magnetic patterns to be mapped in 3D
An international collaboration has succeeded in using synchrotron light to detect and record the complex 3D magnetisation in wound magnetic layers. This technique could be important in the development of devices that are highly sensitive to magnetic fields, such as in medical diagnostics for example.
