Striped glow sticks

Heterostructure crystals could light the way to optical circuits.

A modified device fabrication process achieves enhanced spin transport in graphene

Researchers have proposed a modified graphene-based nanodevice fabrication technique that has increased up to three times the spin lifetime and relaxation length compared to previous work of the same kind.

The world's thinnest gold sheet is just two atoms thick

Scientists have created a new form of gold which is just two atoms thick - the thinnest unsupported gold ever created.

Researchers forecast failure in two-dimensional disordered materials

Researchers were able to forecast likely points of failure in two-dimensional disordered laser-cut lattices without needing to study detailed states of the material.

Scientists can now manipulate brain cells using smartphone

Researchers have developed a soft neural implant capable of delivering multiple drugs and colour lights which neuroscientists believe can speed up efforts to uncover brain diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, addiction, depression, and pain.

Study on attosecond timescale casts new light on electron dynamics in transition metals

Scientists have unraveled the light-induced electron-localization dynamics in transition metals at the attosecond timescale.The team investigated for the first time the many-body electron dynamics in transition metals before thermalization sets in.
