Spin polarization by strong field ionization

Surprisingly, a joint experimental and theoretical study shows that a chance of detaching spin-up or spin-down electron from an atom can be very different.

Wi-fi from nanocrystal-based lasers

White light from lasers demonstrates data speeds of up to 2 GB/s.

Visible light superlens made from nanobeads

New solid 3-D superlenses made from nanobeads extends magnification x5 to reveal new detail.

Slicing through materials with a new X-ray imaging technique

Images reveal battery materials' chemical reactions in five dimensions - 3D space plus time and energy.

Super-resolution 3-D microscopy images cells in unprecedented detail (w/video)

A new ultra-high resolution 'nanoscope' is capable of taking 3-D images of an entire cell and its cellular constituents in unprecedented detail, an advance that could reveal biological phenomena never before seen and bring new medical insights.

See the light, get the data

A nanocrystalline material that rapidly makes white light out of blue light has been developed by researchers.

Self-shading windows

New system can rapidly switch glass from transparent to dark - and keep it that way without power.
