Scientists developed a new measurement method that, for the first time, accurately detects tiny temperature differences in the range of 100 microkelvin in the thermal Hall effect. Previously, these temperature differences could not be measured quantitatively due to thermal noise.
Researchers have developed sustainable textile-based nanogenerators that can passively harness wind and raindrop energy to produce usable electricity. This ambient energy harvesting technology offers a renewable way to trickle-charge sensors and electronics needed for smart infrastructure.
Researchers have developed guidelines for a single-nanometer magnetic tunnel junction, allowing for performance tailoring to meet the requirements of diverse applications, ranging from AI/IoT to automobiles and space technologies.
Researchers unveil critical insights into the optimisation of thin-film solar cells, shedding light on methods to enhance their efficiency and pave the way for more cost-effective electricity generation.
Fracturing graphene sheets smaller than 1 nanometer via mechanical ball milling generates exotic transient energy states that greatly intensify light absorption and emission.
The shape, size and optical properties of 3-dimensional nanostructures can now be simulated in advance before they are produced directly with high precision on a wide variety of surfaces. Nanoprobes or optical tweezers with sizes in the nanometre range are now within reach.
Researchers have built a quantum memory element based on atoms in a tiny glass cell. In the future, such quantum memories could be mass-produced on a wafer.
