Beneath the ground, a hidden electrical world powers the chemistry that shapes ecosystems, controls water quality, and determines the fate of pollutants. A new review published in Environmental and ...

Scientists are making significant progress in quantum physics, developing new ways to study quantum phenomena that could lead ...

MIT researchers developed a more powerful magnetic transistor that could be used to design simpler circuits and create faster and more energy-efficient electronics.

Phononic circuits are emerging devices that can manipulate sound waves (i.e., phonons) in ways that resemble how electronic ...

Most people have a phone charger plugged in next to their bed, which they never bother to switch off at the wall - but is that risky to do?

“You can carry, but not charge, because they consist of a rechargeable battery housed in a protective casing, along with ...

Black phosphorus nanoribbons (BPNRs), thin and narrow ribbon-like strips of black phosphorus, are known to exhibit highly ...

A new thermogalvanic device uses nanoparticles to control ion flow, allowing it to convert waste heat to electricity and store the energy without external batteries.

University of Michigan engineers have created a new nanostructure that can guide and stop excitons at room temperature. Excitons are quantum quasiparticles that carry energy without charge. The team ...

A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum quasiparticles called excitons at room temperature.

A new "optoexcitonic switch" already achieves state-of-the-art performance over current electronics and could serve as the basis for classical and quantum computing devices capable of operating at ...
