Researchers make key steps towards generating quantum states of sound inside a microscopic device using laser light and single-photon measurements.
Through their study of two-dimensional iron selenide (FeSe) films, a research team has unlocked some intriguing clues about superconductivity.
Wakanda, the mythical setting for Marvel's superhero film "Black Panther," is home to some not-so-mythical technology. An indestructible cape might not yet be possible, but Wakanda's levitating high-speed trains could zoom ...
Thermoelectric materials have the ability to generate electricity when a temperature difference is applied to them. Conversely, they can also generate a temperature gradient when current is applied to them. Therefore, these ...
In 1965, Gordon Moore of Intel predicted that microprocessors would double in speed and capacity every couple of years. This prediction, now known as "Moore's Law," has with some modification in 1975 been reliably prophetic ...
Phonons—the quasiparticle describing lattice vibrations in solids—directly dictates various properties of solid state systems, such as the thermal conductivity, electron mobility, structural stability and conventional ...
