Electrical engineers at Duke University have harnessed the power of machine learning to design dielectric (non-metal) metamaterials that absorb and emit…
Hey, physicists and materials scientists: You'd better reevaluate your work if you study iridium-based materials – members of the platinum family – when they…
The basic principle of the first light bulb, invented by Thomas Edison in the 19th century, was quite simple: Electrons – negatively charged particles – flow…
In a study published in Advanced Materials Technologies, the team, led by Caterina Lamuta, assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of…
These materials – magnetic Weyl semi-metals – are innately quantum but bridge the two worlds of topology and spintronics. Topological materials exhibit strange…
In Japan Science and Technology Agency's Strategic Basic Research Programs, Associate Professor Toshiaki Kato and Professor Toshiro Kaneko of the Department of…
The component assembly consists of 68 parts made of aluminium, steel and titanium, which through component optimisation and the possibilities of Electron and…
To make aircrafts more economical, environmentally friendly and robust, Fraunhofer engineers from Dresden have developed a new ceramic heat shield technology….
Tin doped indium oxide -ITO – is the leading material used in the coating applied to the glass or clear plastic of touch screens, solar cells and light…
Six Fraunhofer Institutes (ENAS, IFAM, ILT, IOF, ISC and IWU) have succeeded to manufacture electrical conductor patterns, sensors, and high-tech lighting…
Understanding how particles behave at the twilight zone between the macro and the quantum world gives us access to fascinating phenomena, interesting from both…
A new nanomaterial developed by scientists at the University of Bath could solve a conundrum faced by scientists probing some of the most promising types of…
A newly developed type of architected metamaterial has the ability to change shape in a tunable fashion.
Medical implants of the future may feature reconfigurable electronic platforms that can morph in shape and size dynamically as bodies change or transform to…
High critical temperature superconductors have a variable charge density, meaning that their electrical charge is unevenly distributed. This partly results…
Electric current flows through all technical devices. Heat is generated and energy is lost. Spintronics explores new approaches to solving this issue that…
