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.
Physicists have built a new technology on a microchip by combining two Nobel Prize-winning techniques for the first time. Because the technology uses sound vibrations instead of light, it is useful for high-precision position measurements in opaque materials.
Compared with six years ago, silicon photonics is in a much better position to pull neural morphic processors from their currently low computational and physical size (footprint) efficiency to less unwieldy.
Researchers demonstrate a new way to create chiral nanostructures using a laser beam. By carefully controlling the direction of the laser beam's vibrations, the researchers created a variety of chiral structures made of platinum oxide in unique shapes, like twisted micropillars and spiral superstructures.
Scientists highlight a series of critical achievements in antiferromagnetic spintronics, revealing an emerging frontier distinguished by the coherent spin dynamics of antiferromagnets.
A team of researchers has developed a new technology to combine optics and micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) in a microchip, paving the way for the creation of devices like micro-3D cameras and gas sensors for precision air quality measurement, including their use in mobile phones.
Researchers have developed a compact EUV laser module that can be used to generate this special light much more cost-effectively, with potential applications are possible in semiconductor manufacturing and microscopy.
