Holding the right material at the right angle, researchers have discovered a strategy to switch the magnetization in thin layers of a ferromagnet - a technique that could eventually lead to the development of more energy-efficient magnetic memory devices.
Researchers have developed a single-material, single-stimuli microstructure that can outmaneuver even living cilia. These programmable, micron-scale structures could be used for a range of applications, including soft robotics, biocompatible medical devices, and even dynamic information encryption.
Researchers have produced the first proof that networks of nanomagnets can be used to perform AI-like processing. The researchers showed nanomagnets can be used for 'time-series prediction' tasks, such as predicting and regulating insulin levels in diabetic patients.
A research team was able to generate polarized X-rays with unprecedented purity. The method is supposed to be used in the coming years to show that even vacuum behaves like a material under certain circumstances - a prediction from quantum electrodynamics.
By utilizing the natural atomic thickness, flexibility, and mechanical strength, flexible devices based on 2D materials are paving the new way to achieve novel flexible device applications that include flexible transistors, flexible optoelectronics, flexible sensors and flexible supercapacitors. Furthermore, mechanical robustness and their atomic thickness provide 2D materials with high transparency in the visible range and makes them suitable for flexible, transparent electronic devices ...
