- Featured Paper: Nanomembrane Microtubes And Hybrid Materials For Advanced Electronic Devices 04/05/2020 Some of the challenges of the next generation of smartphones, sensors and other electronic devices can be solved with the help of nanomembrane microtubes (sheets made from various materials with nanometric thicknesses and micrometric lateral dimensions, which can be self-rolled and form microtubes).
- Terahertz Imaging Using Atomic Vapor 01/05/2020 By converting low-energy photons to optical frequencies, researchers can capture images at ultrahigh speeds.
- Drops Of Liquid Crystal Molecules Branch Out Into Strange Structures 29/04/2020 Shaped by surface tension and elasticity, spherical drops of chain-like liquid crystal molecules transform upon cooling into complex shapes with long-reaching tendrils.
- High-level Nuclear Waste Storage Vessels Could Degrade Much Faster Than Previously Thought 27/04/2020 Warning signs: a recent study suggests that we need to rethink plans for the long-term storage of nuclear waste.
- How Do You Make The World’s Most Powerful Neutrino Beam? 24/04/2020 DUNE will need lots of neutrinos—and to make them, scientists and engineers will use extreme versions of some common sounding ingredients: magnets and pencil lead.
- Supercapacitor Model Captures Complex Physics Of Charging 22/04/2020 A new model that predicts the charging timescales of supercapacitors much more accurately than had been previously possible has been unveiled by researchers in the Netherlands and China.
- Terahertz Microscope Produces Highly Accurate ‘Ghost’ Images 20/04/2020 A new type of microscope that can detect terahertz (THz) electromagnetic waves with unprecedented accuracy could be used to reconstruct detailed images that are inaccessible through standard methods.
- Quantum Effects Seen In Collisions Of Ultracold Ions And Atoms 17/04/2020 A new technique that allows researchers to cool ions to ultracold temperatures by placing the ions in contact with an ultracold atomic “buffer gas” has been developed by researchers in the Netherlands.
- Physicists Place Stringent Limits On The Neutron Electric Dipole Moment 15/04/2020 For more than 60 years, physicists have been searching for a miniscule separation of charge within the neutron known as an electric dipole moment.
- Introducing The π-ton, Which Could Be The Newest Known Quasiparticle 13/04/2020 The π-ton could arise from the coupling of two electron-hole pairs in materials such as samarium titanate.
- Multi-modal Nanoprobes Reveal Hidden Magnetism 10/04/2020 A “multi-messenger” approach that was first employed to study astrophysical phenomena such as black hole mergers can also bring insights to the ultra-small realm of quantum physics.A “multi-messenger” approach that was first employed to study astrophysical phenomena such as black hole mergers can also bring insights to the ultra-small realm of quantum physics.
