A research team in Kiel has demonstrated a previously unknown effect in graphene—a single layer of carbon atoms whose discovery earned the 2010 Nobel Prize. For years, graphene has been seen as a ...

For the first time, researchers show light pulses can create electrons at specific sites in graphene, uncovered through ...

Superconductors are special materials that allow electricity to flow without any resistance, much like a frictionless highway ...

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.

Abstract: Partial discharge (PD) degradation in high-voltage and/or high-field equipment is a major hazard that can result in equipment breakdown. Despite extensive research, PDs remain challenging to ...

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?

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

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.
