An international team of researchers from Russia and India has created a narrow-band UV photodetector based on indium oxide nanocrystals embedded in a thin…
A team of physicists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Stanford University and Europe has captured the clearest glimpse yet of a photochemical reaction…
“The E-VITA technology is a successful and persuasive example of using physical processes in agriculture. It provides a convenient method that protects users…
Einstein's understanding of gravity, as outlined in his general theory of relativity, predicts that all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their mass…
“Put an excitation into the system and observe how it evolves.” According to physicist Professor Tobias Brixner, this is the credo of optical spectroscopy….
The kick-off event on May 2, 2018 in Aachen marks the beginning of an extraordinary venture. Prof. Reinhart Poprawe, head of the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser…
Our vision is limited to the macroscopic world. If we look at an object, we merely see its surface. At the nanoscale, things would appear very different. This…
More than a century ago, Albert Einstein published his theoretical work on the photo-effect, which fundamentally describes the photoionization of matter, or…
As a physical system undergoes a phase transition, it typically becomes more — or, less — ordered. For instance, when a piece of iron is heated to above…
Modern civilization relies on water's incompressibility–it's something we take for granted. Hydraulic systems harness the virtual non-compressibility of…
The field of quantum science and technology experiences an ever-intensifying flurry of activity. The headlines are currently dominated by reports on progress…
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have observed the formation of holes that move by themselves in droplets of ionic liquids (IL) sitting inside…
As silicon-based semiconductors reach their performance limits, gallium nitride (GaN) is becoming the next go-to material to advance light-emitting diode (LED)…
The idea of using a liquid medium for computing has been around for decades, and various approaches have been proposed. Among its potential advantages, this…
The way an object reflects light depends not only on its albedo (the percentage of light it reflects) but also on the illumination angle. One particular effect…
These objects, which are referred to as “chiral magnetic bobbers”, are three-dimensional magnetic structures that appear near the surfaces of certain alloys.
