A new X-ray laser oscillator generates types of pulses that were never before possible. The pulses are stable, intense, and of ultrashort duration and have a well-defined wavelength. This ability opens new possibilities in experiments and research.
Scientists have developed a metamaterial whose mechanical properties can be reprogrammed on demand and whose internal structure can be modified by applying a magnetic field.
Using DNA as a scaffold, engineers create a synthetic nanomaterial that could pave the way for rapid and more accurate diagnostic testing from a single molecule.
Transport processes are ubiquitous in nature but still raise many questions. Scientists have now developed a new method that allows them to observe a single charged particle on its path through a dense cloud of ultracold atoms.
New photo-ferroelectric materials allow to store information in a non-volatile way using light stimulus. The idea is to create energy efficient memory devices with high performance and versatility to face the challenges of the current society.
Researchers have developed a groundbreaking validation protocol for simulations of the atomic structure of the interface between a solid (a metal oxide) and liquid water.
