A new chapter in antiferromagnetic spintronics is unfolding Electronics play a pivotal role in today's information society. Yet only the electron charge in electronic devices is at play, making energy dissipation an increasingly pressing issue that thwart …
Semiconductor lattice marries electrons and magnetic moments A model system created by stacking a pair of monolayer semiconductors is giving physicists a simpler way to study confounding quantum behavior, from heavy fermions to exotic quantum phase transitions.
Novel probe helps to detect deep sea biological macromolecules The phenomenon of chemically synthesized life in extreme deep-sea environment is an international research hotspot in deep-sea science and life science. However, due to the extremely low concentration …
Time-delocalized variables violating causal inequalities A team of researchers from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the French National Center for Scientific Research have shown for the first time that an exotic type of process violating causal inequa …
A recipe for 3D-printing food using additive manufacturing 3D-printing food could address global challenges in food supply and nutrition. But there are hurdles involved in adapting additive manufacturing to produce edible materials.
Using optics to trace the flow of microplastics in oceans Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter that have emerged as a novel marine environment pollutant. Microplastics usually result from a breakdown of larger plastic debris bu …
Team first to detect neutrinos made by a particle collider In a scientific first, a team led by physicists at the University of California, Irvine has detected neutrinos created by a particle collider. The discovery promises to deepen scientists' underst …
Gigapixel 3D microscope captures life in unprecedented detail When a couple of plucky graduate students took the first picture with their pieced-together microscope, it turned out better than they'd hoped. Sure, there was a hole in one section and another w …
Speckle-illumination proves useful in photoacoustic microscopy Motivated by the limitations of scanning approaches to photoacoustic microscopy, an international group supervised by Emmanuel Bossy of Université Grenoble Alpes experimented with structured illuminat …
Ultrafast beam-steering breakthrough In a major breakthrough in the fields of nanophotonics and ultrafast optics, a Sandia National Laboratories research team has demonstrated the ability to dynamically steer light pulses from convention …
Scientists open door to manipulating 'quantum light' For the first time, scientists at the University of Sydney and the University of Basel in Switzerland have demonstrated the ability to manipulate and identify small numbers of interacting photons—pack …
Sculpting quantum materials for the electronics of the future The development of new information and communication technologies poses new challenges to scientists and industry. Designing new quantum materials—whose exceptional properties stem from quantum physic …
