Scientists have revealed how tiny swimming cells—such as sperm and bacteria—are able to move faster when traveling as a group, and the research could accelerate the development of microscopic robots that deliver drugs ...
The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not understood much about how to manipulate the mechanical side of that equation. That's about to change.
Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to their ability to manipulate light polarization. However, designing high-performance birefringent materials ...
As the planet warms, Antarctica's ice sheet is melting and contributing to sea-level rise around the globe. Antarctica holds enough frozen water to raise global sea levels by 190 feet, so precisely predicting how it will ...
Recently, a research group led by Prof. Wang Zhenyang and Zhang Shudong from the Hefei Institutes of Â鶹ÒùÔºical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a new type of ceramic fiber aerogel, SiC@SiOâ‚‚, featuring ...
Superconductivity, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at very low temperatures, is a highly desirable and thus widely studied quantum phenomenon. Typically, this state is known to arise following the formation ...
A research team led by Prof. Long Shibing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has, for the first time, made spintronic neuromorphic devices based on CoO/Pt ...
Researchers from the Department of Â鶹ÒùÔºics have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic vortex or "vortion." The research, published in Nature Communications, allows for an unprecedented level ...
A study published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Â鶹ÒùÔºics (JCAP) presents a methodology to test the assumption of cosmic homogeneity and isotropy, known as the Cosmological Principle, by leveraging weak gravitational ...
Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are fascinating and mysterious states of matter that have intrigued scientists for decades. First proposed by Nobel laureate Philip Anderson in the 1970s, these materials break the conventional ...
