The peculiar topological properties of some forms of matter have been researched for decades. Now, researchers have discovered topological properties of simple diatomic molecules driven to rotation by laser pulses.
Researchers made a further advance through the combination of various methods, achieving the highest resolution in three-dimensional space and paving the way for a fundamentally new approach for faster imaging of dense molecular structures.
Researchers have demonstrated sub-picosecond magnetization reversal in rare-earth-free spin valves. To date, ultra-fast magnetization control without using magnetic fields was only seen in material systems using rare-earth materials. But the recent breakthrough is expected to open up new pathways for developing ultra-fast and energy efficient applications.
Machine learning algorithms allow analysis and characterization of the atomic arrangement of silicon surface superstructures without the need for human expertise.
In the latest advance in nano- and micro-architected materials, engineers have developed a new material made from numerous interconnected microscale knots.
