Researchers develop magnetic switch to turn on and off a strange quantum property

When an electron moves around a closed path, ending up where it began, its physical state may or may not be the same as when it left. Now, there is a way to control the outcome.

Electrically tunable surface could bring drastically higher resolution to smartphone and TV

Researchers have developed a new color changing surface tunable through electrical voltage - a breakthrough that could lead to three times the resolution for televisions, smartphones and other devices.

Water forms 'spine of hydration' around DNA

How water relates to and interacts with biological systems is of critical importance, and a research group has used a relatively new form of spectroscopy to observe a previously unknown characteristic of water.

New metamaterial-enhanced MRI technique tested on humans

Scientists have designed and tested a new metasurface-based technology for enhancing the local sensitivity of MRI scanners on humans for the first time.

Researchers find new way to control light with electric fields

With this new discovery, a light may be controlled to be strong or weak, spread or focused, pointing one direction or others by an electric field.

Successful use of DNA as a computer in artificial cells

Researchers have succeeded in detecting output molecules that are the calculation results of DNA computing using DNA molecules as electric information through a nanopore membrane protein.

Unveiling the quantum necklace

Scientists have theoretically described two quantum states that are extraordinary in both the physics that define them and their visual appeal: a complex quantum system that simulates classical physics and a spellbinding necklace-like state.
