Ring resonators corner light

Researchers have created the first silicon chip that can reliably constrain light to its four corners. The effect, which arises from interfering optical pathways, isn't altered by small defects during fabrication and could eventually enable the creation of robust sources of quantum light.

A new 2D magnet draws future devices closer

Scientists have discovered a new type of 2D magnetic material that can be integrated into spintronic devices.

Spintronic revolution in data storage

Newly developed technology represents a major step toward to replace the current magnetic hard disk drive head with the spintronic physics.

Stem cell transplantation with scaffold microrobots

Successful development of magnetically-actuated microrobots as a platform for stem cell transplantation.

Using waves to move droplets

Self-cleaning surfaces and laboratories on a chip become even more efficient if we are able to control individual droplets. Researchers show that this is possible by using a technique named mechanowetting.

Decorating iron nanocubes with gold increases their functionality

Researchers revealed that hybrid Au/Fe nanoparticles can grow in an unprecedentedly complex structure with a single-step fabrication method.
