- X-Ray Diffraction Reveals Switching Mechanism In Phase-Change Materials 27/06/2019 Phase-change materials can be reversibly switched between their glassy and crystalline states by applying a voltage that heats up the material or by directly heating them up with a laser.
- Strain Switches 2D Phase-Change Transistor 25/06/2019 A new way to switch transistors could overcome the power consumption and undesirable current leakage problems encountered in conventional nanoscale field-effect devices.
- Single-Spin System Breaks Quantum Symmetry 23/06/2019 Researchers say they have observed parity-time symmetry breaking for the first time in an experiment.
- Metal Ion Separation Speeds Up 21/06/2019 A faster method to purify elements.
- Emerging Photovoltaic Technology Efficiencies Line Up 19/06/2019 As the first ever table of efficiencies for emerging photovoltaic technologies is published in Journal of Physics: Energy, Edgardo Saucedo, an investigator at the Catalonia Institute for Energy Research, talks to Anna Demming about the motivation and strategy behind it.
- Perovskites A Single Crystal Unit Thick Stand Free 17/06/2019 The crystalline lattice of free-standing perovskites would collapse in films less than five crystal lattice units thick.
- To Catch A Quantum Jump 15/06/2019 Is it possible to know if a quantum jump is about to occur? Researchers have been asking themselves this question for a long time, and the answer is a resounding “yes”, according to a new study by a team at Yale University in the US.
- Inexpensive Thermoelectric Material Works At Room Temperature 13/06/2019 Researchers have fabricated a room-temperature thermoelectric material that is as good as the best commercially available material in its class but is much cheaper.
- Superconductivity Signatures Seen In Trilayer Graphen 11/06/2019 A trilayer graphene (TLG) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) moiré superlattice could be the ideal platform in which to study strong correlated physics and so find signatures of high-temperature superconductivity
- High-Speed Camera Probes The Peeling Behaviour Of Sticky Tape 09/06/2019 Researchers in France have made new discoveries about the way in which sticky tape peels away from surfaces.
- Nitrogen Gives Life And Takes It Away 07/06/2019 Which is your favorite chemical element? In a new series to mark the International Year of the Periodic Table, our science journalists will be arguing for their pick from the 118 known elements. In tu
