As electronic, thermoelectric and computer technologies have been miniaturized to nanometer scale, engineers have faced a challenge studying fundamental properties of the materials involved; in many cases, targets are too ...
Researchers at Northeastern have discovered a new quantum phenomenon in a specific class of materials, called antiferromagnetic insulators, that could yield new ways of powering "spintronic" and other technological devices ...
Sandia National Laboratories is well-known for designing reliable and resilient microgrids for military bases and vital city services. Now, Sandia researchers are working with NASA to design one for the moon.
A group of researchers from Pisa, Jyväskylä, San Sebastian and MIT have demonstrated how a heterostructure consisting of superconductors and magnets can be used to create unidirectional current like that found in semiconductor ...
In a world of materials that normally expand upon heating, one that shrinks along one 3-D axis while expanding along another stands out. That's especially true when the unusual shrinkage is linked to a property important ...
Superconductors are materials that can achieve a state known as superconductivity, in which matter has no electrical resistance and does not allow the penetration of magnetic fields. At low temperatures, these materials are ...
The first experimental evidence to validate a newly published universal law that provides insights into the complex energy states for liquids has been found using an advanced nuclear technique at ANSTO.
The burgeoning field of optoelectronic devices is driving the development of new alkali metal-based chalcogenides with qualities that have to be robustly investigated.
Can you imagine charging your mobile phone by simply using your body heat? It may still sound rather futuristic, but thermoelectrics can do it. Thermoelectrics is all about transforming heat into useful energy, mostly using ...
In a new report now published in Nature Asia Materials, Kenshi Harada and a team in materials science and analytical science in Japan and France formed a new environment sensing device that explored the opto-ionic-electronic ...
