Taking correlated quantum Hall physics to the third dimension

Scientists have discovered a new strongly correlated electronic state in a three-dimensional metal that is a close relative of the two-dimensional quantum Hall state.

Microswimmers move like moths to the light

Researchers have studied an impressive behavior of synthetic microswimmers: as soon as the photocatalytic particles leave an illuminated zone, they flip independently and swim back into the light.

Improved 3D printing for aerospace composites using nanocarbon additives from oil waste

The nanocarbon additive to aluminum powder, obtained from the products of processing associated petroleum gas, will improve the quality of 3D printed aerospace composites by increasing the hardness of products by 1.5 times.

Lanthanide nanocrystals brighten molecular triplet excitons

Scientists have developed an approach to improve the generation and luminescent harvesting of molecular triplets by coupling them with lanthanide-doped nanoparticles. This innovation provides new insights on lanthanide nanocrystal-molecule interaction in the optoelectronic field.
