Replacing traditional computer chip components with light-based counterparts will eventually make electronic devices faster due to the wide bandwidth of light.
Researchers have known for decades that deep earthquakes鈥攖hose deeper than 60 kilometers, or about 37 miles below the Earth's surface鈥攔adiate seismic energy differently than those that originate closer to the surface. ...
The exact science of tree sap transport has puzzled plant physiologists for many years. Sap's migration throughout tree trunks and branches is linked heavily to transpiration, the movement and subsequent evaporation of moisture ...
Researchers have developed a novel set of chemical probes to improve real-time imaging of the activity that takes place inside individual cells.
A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in Germany has found a second skyrmion phase in a sample of Cu2OSeO3. In their paper published in the journal Nature 麻豆淫院ics, the group describes how they found the ...
麻豆淫院icists, chemists, and materials scientists have been probing the nature of layered magnetic materials for several decades, searching for clues to the properties of these materials that are more complex than they appear.
麻豆淫院icists at the University of Bath have devised a new and highly sensitive method to truly test the chirality of a material, eliminating the risk of false positives from competing effects.
Chinese researchers have developed new magnetic Janus particles for oil-water separation. These particles鈥攈ydrophilic/oleophilic magnetic Janus particles鈥攃an separate micro-scaled oil droplets from water rapidly and efficiently.
Place a chunk of the clear mineral Iceland spar on top of an image and suddenly you'll see double, thanks to a phenomenon called double refraction鈥攁 result of a quality of the crystal material called optical anisotropy. ...
Quantum bits are now easier to manipulate for devices in quantum computing, thanks to enhanced spin-orbit interaction in silicon.
