Researchers have developed a nanoparticle-based disinfectant that can continuously kill viruses on a surface for up to seven days - a discovery that could be a powerful weapon against COVID-19 and other emerging pathogenic viruses.
An international team of researchers investigated the ultrafast dynamics of magnetic anisotropy in an orthoferrite using intense mid-infrared laser pulses, revealing distinct roles between electronic and lattice excitation.
With the nonlinear Schroedinger equation derived from the Maxwell-Bloch equations, the researchers have created a coherent atomic gas trapped by 2D optical lattices. In that gas, the electromagnetically induced transparency operates and theoretically can generate solitions in a coherent system.
An encapsulated bimetallic Ni-Co alloying strategy is innovatively designed to enhance hydrodeoxygenation performance of biomass derivatives to the corresponding methylated products in water.
Commercially available materials could bring a method for confining noble gases inside tiny cage-like structures from the lab to industrial scale for nuclear energy, health, and other applications.
Anchoring individual iridium atoms on the surface of a catalytic particle boosted its performance in carrying out a reaction that's been a bottleneck for sustainable energy production.
