Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (NINS, Japan) and SOKENDAI have demonstrated a more than 2000% voltage-induced enhancement of near-field nonlinear optical responses. To achieve this ...

That low-frequency fuzz that can bedevil cellphone calls has to do with how electrons move through and interact in materials at the smallest scale. The electronic flicker noise is often caused by ...

Anyonic solution Calculations suggest that anyons are involved in the exotic properties of some 2D materials. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Vink Fan) New calculations by physicists in the US provide deeper ...

Cylinders and tubes: The structure of the helium detection device was inspired by the Japanese bamboo-weaving technique known as Kagome-biki. This triangular structure (shown in detail at left) helps ...

Materials science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the understanding and application of the properties of matter. Materials scientists study the connections between the underlying ...

Globally, more than one million species are threatened with extinction, but often interventions intended to protect biodiversity are not rooted in robust research. The field has an opportunity to ...
