If the stacking structure of a Covalent Organic Framework is even slightly shifted, its properties change dramatically. This happens more often than assumed, as chemists were able to demonstrate.
Scientists have obtained some of the sharpest possible 3D images of gold nanoparticles. The resuts lay the foundation for obtaining high resolution images of macromolecules.
The odd, wavy pattern that results from viewing certain phone or computer screens through polarized glasses has led researchers to take a step toward thinner, lighter-weight lenses. The pattern is made by laying one material with opaque and translucent parts at an angle over another material of similar contrast.
Assembling tiny chips into unique programmable surfaces, researchers have created a key component toward unlocking a communications band that promises to dramatically increase the amount of data wireless systems can transmit.
p-MINFLUX is a new implementation of the highly photon-efficient single-molecule localization method with a simplified experimental setup and additional fluorescence lifetime information.
Scientists have discovered that skyrmions untie themselves in two distinct ways. Using a magnetic field, the probability to succeed in untying can be varied by up to a factor of 10,000. This insight might be groundbreaking for future information processing with skyrmions.
Researchers have invented a new method for incorporating filler particles in liquid gallium to create functional composites of liquid metal. The incorporation of fillers transforms the material from a liquid state into either a paste- or putty-like form depending on the amount of added particles.
Scientists develop a fluorescence 'lifetime' microscopy technique that uses frequency combs and no mechanical parts to observe dynamic biological phenomena.
