Working at nanoscale dimensions, a team of scientists led by the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials. Knowledge obtained by these ...
From computer chips to image sensors in cameras, today's technology is overwhelmingly based on a semiconductor called silicon. This technology has been shrinking for decades—think of early room-sized computers compared ...
The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory—is among the world's most advanced synchrotron light sources, ...
Soft viscoelastic solids are flexible materials that can return to their original shape after being stretched. Due to the unique properties driving their deformation, these materials can sometimes behave and change shape ...
The skin serves as the body's primary defense against harmful microorganisms, toxins, and physical damage. However, severe injuries from burns, trauma, surgery, or conditions like diabetes can compromise its ability to heal ...
Monash researchers have developed a novel AI program to assist scientists in the global fight against the scourge of environmental microplastics. The research is published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials.
Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new solutions for data storage, data transmission, and quantum computers. Meanwhile, understanding the ...
Rice University researchers have revealed novel sequence-structure-property relationships for customizing engineered living materials (ELMs), enabling more precise control over their structure and how they respond to deformation ...
When people think about fiber optic cables, it's usually about how they're used for telecommunications and accessing the internet. But fiber optic cables—strands of glass or plastic that allow for the transmission of light—can ...
Half-metals are unique magnetic compounds that have been attracting interest in the development of mass-storage technologies. Some of the materials in the family of Heusler alloys were predicted to have a half-metallic nature, ...
