Since its discovery in 2014, phosphorene—a sheet of phosphorus atoms only a single atom thick—has intrigued scientists due to its unique optoelectronic anisotropy. In other words, electrons interact with light and move ...
Different structured materials have different properties and applications. Disclosing the formation mechanism of material structures may help develop routes for the rational synthesis. However, how the materials structures ...
Optical multiplexing and demultiplexing utilizing the intrinsic physical properties of light has played a crucial role in high-capacity data storage and high-speed communications.
Polarized light detection plays an important role in remote sensing, near-field imaging, communication, and high resolution detectors. However, it remains a great challenge to achieve highly polarization-sensitive photodetection ...
Materials that exhibit topological phases can be classified by their dimensionality, symmetries and topological invariants to form conductive-edge states with peculiar transport and spin properties. For example, the quantum ...
In a study published in Advanced Materials, researchers at Aalto University, the University of Tokyo, Sichuan University and the University of British Columbia have demonstrated that plant-derived cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) ...
A study by IRB Barcelona's Development and Growth Control Laboratory, headed by ICREA researcher Marco Milán, reveals how Dpp and Wg morphogens regulate organ proportions and patterning of the fly wing through independent ...
Femtosecond laser machining has emerged as an attractive technology enabling applications ranging from eye surgery to direct writing on the bulk of transparent materials. Scientists from the University of Southampton, UK, ...
Scientists from the University of Bristol and Université Paris-Saclay have discovered a new class of material—non-sticky gels.
A new research study at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Lasers (IESL) of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) finds that minute crystals, many thousand times smaller than a particle of dust, ...
