New study reveals how impurities affect the electrical properties in anisotropic 2D materials

A new study shows how impurities affect the electrical properties in anisotropic germanium arsenide (GeAs).

Abundant element to power small devices

A thin, iron-based generator uses waste heat to provide small amounts of power.

Two steps closer to flexible, powerful, fast bioelectronic devices

Researchers design biocompatible ion-driven soft transistors that can perform real-time neurologically relevant computation and a mixed-conducting particulate composite that allows creation of electronic components out of a single material.

Electronics for high-altitude use can get smaller and sturdier with new nanomaterials

Scientists are creating new metal-based nanomaterials for circuit boards that could be resistant to the high-altitude radiation encountered by electronics in aerospace equipment, fighter jets and weapon systems.

New metasurface laser produces world's first super-chiral light

Researchers have demonstrated the world's first metasurface laser that produces 'super-chiral light': light with ultra-high angular momentum. The light from this laser can be used as a type of "optical spanner" to or for encoding information in optical communications.

Scientists develop stable luminescent composite material based on perovskite nanocrystals

Scientists develop light-emitting composite material based on perovskite nanocrystals with air- and water resilient optical characteristics.

Ultra-fast vector microscopy is a breakthrough in nano-optics

The duration of their snapshot relates to a second as this second does to the age of the universe: Physicists have developed ultra-fast vector microscopy as a means of determining electric fields on surfaces with high temporal and spatial resolution.
