Disrupting crystalline order to restore superfluidity

Scientists disrupted crystalline order in a quantum system in a controlled manner by shining light on it that oscillates in time at a specific frequency.

World's fastest camera freezes time at 10 trillion frames per second

T-CUP makes it possible to see phenomena -- and even light! -- in extremely slow motion.

Researchers quickly harvest 2-D materials, bringing them closer to commercialization

Efficient method for making single-atom-thick, wafer-scale materials opens up opportunities in flexible electronics.

Light switch: Scientists develop method to control nanoscale manipulation in scanning tunneling microscopes

Scientists have taken a step toward faster and more advanced electronics by developing a way to better measure and manipulate conductive materials through scanning tunneling microscopy.

Scientists succeed in controlling the wettability of a nanofiber

Researchers succeeded to switch wettability of a nanofiber obtained out of polymers with piezoelectric properties. The time of response to an external trigger was shortened to a few seconds instead of a few minutes at existing methods.

Graphene shows unique potential to exceed bandwidth demands of future telecommunications

A new review paper concludes that graphene offers a unique evolutionary pathway for next-generation communications.
