Videos show how heat moves through materials at the nanoscale and speed of sound

Groundbreaking observations could help develop better, more efficient materials for electronics and alternative energy.

A new combination of materials allows state-of-the-art operating controls with elastic circuits

Researchers have succeeded in manufacturing circuit paths on thin, elastic foil made of silicone. Since these are relatively insensitive to compression and elongation strain, the electrical circuits can adapt to the curvature of appliances.

Generation of tailored magnetic materials

Researchers have succeed in manipulating the properties of two oxides which make up the artificial material, more exactly they managed to modify the magnetic properties which can be either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic; that is, with or without net magnetic moment.

Physicists build engine consisting of one atom

Researchers describe an innovative form of heat engine that operates using only one single atom.

Integration of organic lasers on a silicon photonic chip

In the area of nano photonics, scientists for the first time succeeded in integrating a laser with an organic gain medium on a silicon photonic chip.

WiFi capacity doubled at less than half the size

Engineers develop the first on-chip RF circulator that doubles WiFi speeds with a single antenna - could transform telecommunications.
