Skyrmions like it hot: Spin structures are controllable even at high temperatures

Investigation of the temperature dependence of the skyrmion Hall effect reveals further insights into possible new data storage devices.

A fast light detector made of two-dimensional materials

The novel light detector consists of two-dimensional layers of different materials that are coupled to a silicon optical waveguide. In the future, this approach can also be used to make LEDs and optical modulators.

New nanosensor detects cancer biomarkers in drop of blood

Researchers developed a nanosensor able to accurately detect biomarkers for cancer in an extremely broad range of concentrations: from 10 particles per microliter to a million particles per microliter.

Movement of a liquid droplet generates over 5 volts of electricity

Scientists have developed an energy harvesting device that generates over 5 volts of electricity from a liquid droplet. This device, made of flexible thin films, generates electricity when drops of liquid slide down along its surface.

Shaping waveforms

Researchers have succeeded for the first time in temporally shaping the electric field of an attosecond pulse.
