Construction set of magnon logic extended: Magnon spin currents controlled via spin valve structure

Magnon spintronics employs magnons instead of electrical charges for information processing.

Energy level alignment for molecular electronics

Physicists have found that complex electron-electron interactions change the energy levels at molecule-metal interfaces, affecting the performance of molecular electronic devices.

In search of a photocatalyst to get hydrogen from water with visible light

The COMPHOCAT project has worked on the computational model of titanium dioxide nanoparticles to search for a catalyst which, with visible light, favours the division of water to generate hydrogen.

Multifunctional metalens unlocks with light

Flat optical device has applications in augmented and virtual reality, ultra-high resolution microscopy, holography.

Researchers develop spectroscopic thermometer for nanomaterials

Scientists have found a new way to take the local temperature of a material from an area about a billionth of a meter wide.

Magnetism has the pull to transform our digital lives

Digital memory and security could be transformed according to new research, which has for the first time showed that antiferromagnets can be easily controlled and read by switching the direction of ordinary electrical currents at super-fast speed.

Quantum dot lighting technology takes forward leap thanks to new superacid treatment

A 'superacid' much stronger than automobile battery acid has enabled a key advance toward a new generation of LED lighting that?s safer, less expensive and more user friendly.
