Cold atoms offer a glimpse of flat physics

Scientists propose new ways of studying flat physics, suggesting that small numbers of constrained atoms could act as stand-ins for the finicky electrons first predicted to exhibit low-dimensional quirks.

Excitons pave the way to more efficient electronics

After developing a method to control exciton flows at room temperature, scientists have discovered new properties of these quasiparticles that can lead to more energy-efficient electronic devices.

Engineers create a nanoformulated inhalable form of messenger RNA

Patients with lung disease could find relief by breathing in messenger RNA molecules.

New technology to control near-field thermal radiation using multilayered nanostructure

A research team succeeded in measuring and controlling the near-field thermal radiation between metallo-dielectric multilayer structures.
