Researchers control electronic properties of moiré crystals
A research team led by Prof Ursula Wurstbauer from the Institute of Physics at the University of Münster has investigated how electrons in two-dimensional crystals can be collectively excited and…
Measuring particle size distribution during the grinding process
How pharmaceuticals act, how efficient catalysts are and how effective and accurate printing inks function all depend on the size of the nanoparticles they contain. However, there are as of…
Is a gamma-ray laser possible?
Federal funding will allow University of Rochester scientists and their European collaborators to study the feasibility of coherent light sources beyond x-rays. Since the laser was invented in the 1960s,…
Microwave popcorn to particle accelerators
– magnetrons show promise as radiofrequency source. The small but mighty gadget could help make massive research machines more efficient and enable future industrial applications. It has a pretty fascinating…
Drawing water from dry air
Device developed by Utah engineers with Army funding harvests water from atmosphere, even in arid places. Earth’s atmosphere holds an ocean of water, enough liquid to fill Utah’s Great Salt…
Combining trapped atoms and photonics for new quantum devices
A new platform lets PME researchers combine atom array processors with photonic and semiconductor chips. Quantum information systems offer faster, more powerful computing methods than standard computers to help solve…
