Researchers have shown for the first time how to design the basic elements needed for logic operations using a kind of material called a liquid crystal - paving the way for a completely novel way of performing computations.
A new study opens bigger and better possibilities for quantum technologies of the future. For the first time, researchers were able to make an array of atomic qubits out of atoms from more than one element. They also did so at a much larger scale than previously thought possible.
A new review discusses the connection between topology, symmetry and magnetism at a level suitable for graduate students in physics, chemistry and materials science that have a basic knowledge of condensed matter physics.
Chemical cleaning is indispensable for the sustainable operation of nanofiltration in wastewater treatment and product purification. However, common chemical cleaning methods are plagued by low cleaning efficiency, high chemical consumption, and deteriorating membrane separation performance.
Researchers have developed an innovative nano-biosensor for fast, quantitative and accurate COVID-19 serology, which achieves the high reliability of specialised laboratory analysis with the short times and simplicity of rapid self-tests.
A rare spectroscopy technique directly quantifies the energy required to bind two excitons together, providing for the first time a direct measurement of the biexciton binding energy.
