Choreographing the dance of electrons

Scientists have discovered how to manipulate electrons in thin semiconductors by encapsulating them in atomically thin materials and changing the electric field.

Researchers create exceptionally strong and lightweight new metal

Magnesium infused with dense silicon carbide nanoparticles could be used for airplanes, cars, mobile electronics and more.

Infrared encoding of images with metasurfaces

Researchers have recently demonstrated metamaterial resonators that allow emission in the infrared to be tuned through the geometry of the resonator.
