From iPad to iPaper

Investigation of paper-based electronics continues to advance, showing exciting signs of progress.

Bit data goes anti-skyrmions

Scientists have discovered a new kind of magnetic nano-object in a novel material that could serve as a magnetic bit with cloaking properties to make a magnetic disk drive with no moving parts - a Racetrack Memory - a reality in the near future.

Fast heat flows in warm dense aluminum

Researchers have achieved the first measurements of thermal conductivity of warm dense aluminum - a prototype material commonly used in model development - by heating a dual-layer target of gold and aluminum with laser-generated protons.

Simulation reveals previously unknown diamond friction mechanisms at the molecular level

Scientists have discovered a new explanation for the friction behavior of diamond surfaces under the influence of water.

Molecules move faster near sticky surfaces

Molecules move faster as they get closer to adhesive surfaces, but this effect is not permanent.
