Scientists catch light squeezing and stretching next-gen data storage material
Combining X-ray and electron data, researchers observe the rapid atomic response of iron-platinum nanoparticles to light, which could help control future magnetic data storage devices.
Research boosts efficiency and stability of optical rectennas
Recent improvements could allow rectennas - which convert electromagnetic fields at optical frequencies directly to electrical current - to operate low-power devices such as temperature sensors.
X-ray experiments suggest high tunability of 2-D material
Scientists use a new x-ray platform to see microscale details in monolayer material's electronic structure.
Tiny scales could serve as safe material in implants to reinforce bones and joints
Researchers have designed a system of minuscule two-ended hooks, made out of calcite, that can 'grow' from silicone into tissue to fix themselves into place.
New technology aiming to improve trueness in the piezoelectric microscopy characterization of ceramic materials
Scientists have proved that unconventional AFM probes are suitable to acquire a trueness piezoelectric signal in Piezoresponse Force Microscopy.
Graphene oxide is 'sensed' by specialised cells of the immune system
A new study shows that our immune system handles graphene oxide in a manner similar to pathogens, paving the way for safer biomedical applications of this two-dimensional material.
New research yields super-strong aluminum alloy
Researchers have demonstrated how to create a super-strong aluminum alloy that rivals the strength of stainless steel, an advance with potential industrial applications.
