Diamond dust enables low-cost, high-efficiency magnetic field detection

The technology could revolutionize how we measure the magnetic fields that flow through our electronics, our planet, and even our bodies.

Graphene enables clock rates in the terahertz range

Scientists have now shown for the first time that graphene can actually convert electronic signals with frequencies in the gigahertz range - which correspond to today's clock rates - extremely efficiently into signals with several times higher frequency.

Researchers discover how caged molecules 'rattle and sing'

Breakthrough discovery could improve production of fuels and chemicals.

First truly black solar modules roll off industrial production line

Joint European research and development team shows that black silicon with reflectance below 1% is ready for industrial solar panel production.

Golden sandwich could make the world more sustainable

Scientists have developed a photoelectrode that can harvest 85 percent of visible light in a 30 nanometers-thin semiconductor layer between gold layers, converting light energy 11 times more efficiently than previous methods.

Researchers develop a solid material with mobile nanoparticles that react to the environment

A new 'active nanocomposite' is teeming with motion: small particles connect or separate, thus changing the color of the entire material.

Novel cascadable magnetic majority gate (CMMG) that is based on magnetic tunneling junctions

For the first time, complete logic family have been implemented in very straightforward ways.

Understanding origami in 2D materials

Researchers have been studying the folding of 2D materials at the level of single atomic sheets and discovered completely new bending behaviour which is forcing us to look again at how materials deform.

Algorithm accurately predicts how electromagnetic waves and magnetic materials interact

Computational tool allows for the development of next-generation communications devices.
