Researchers at Kyushu University have designed a class of molecules whose ability to amplify light energy can be actively controlled by simply applying pressure. The findings, published in the journal Chemical Science, may ...
Temperature is a key physiological factor that determines the speed of immune reactions. While this may seem obvious, it has remained largely unexplored at the single-cell level鈥攗ntil now. Stefan Wieser from the Institute ...
At 4 degrees Kelvin, most electro-optic materials falter. Nanoelectronics R&D center imec has now successfully engineered thin-film strontium titanate (SrTiO鈧�) that delivers record electro-optic performance with low optical ...
LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are essential components in near-eye displays like virtual reality and augmented reality headsets and smart glasses, along with electronics like cameras and medical equipment.
A global team of experts from academia and industry has joined forces in a landmark Consensus Statement on next-generation photodetectors based on emerging light-responsive materials, which could accelerate innovative applications ...
From the burning of wood to the action of medicines, the properties and behavior of matter are governed by the way chemical elements bond with one another. For many of the 118 known elements, the intricate electronic structures ...
There is a limit to how big we can build particle colliders on Earth, whether that is because of limited space or limited economics. Since size is equivalent to energy output for particle colliders, that also means there's ...
For over a century, rocket propulsion has followed a simple principle; burn fuel, expel it backward, and Newton's third law pushes you forward. Since Konstantin Tsiolkovsky first formulated the rocket equation in 1903, spacecraft ...
Nonlinear optical dynamics鈥攊ntensity-dependent response of light upon interaction with materials under high-intensity light sources鈥攁re of huge significance in modern photonics, finding applications in fields ranging ...
Spin glasses are physical systems in which the small magnetic moments of particles (i.e., spins) interact with each other in a random way. These random interactions between spins make it impossible for all spins to satisfy ...
