Hideo Ohno and his group at the Tohoku University, Japan, were the first to measure ferromagnetism in transition metal-doped semiconductors such as indium…
The tiny electronic device, described today in a paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, uses as its active component an individual phosphorus…
Silicon nanowires are widely recognized as candidates for use in next-generation sensors, battery electrodes and solar cells, and first-principle calculations…
Scientists around Felix Aharonian from the MPI for Nuclear Physics and the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies now present an explanation for this radiation….
Pool boiling is the most common and familiar method of heating a container's contents, and is a remarkably efficient heat transfer method. The transfer of heat…
Franklin's electrostatic motor was self-commutating, meaning that it was able to provide a continuous torque while it turned without requiring external…
This non-intuitive technique, however, can lead to better images when conditions are less than ideal. In a first-of-its-kind demonstration, a team of…
Astrophysicists affiliated with UC Santa Barbara and Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT) contributed to the study.Dubbed the “Great…
The ORNL team’s microscopy confirmed that deliberately introduced defects, which are only the size of a single atom, could turn a conducting nanowire into an…
Their findings, which appear in the journal Physical Review of Letters, are counter to common perceptions that flight stability can be achieved only through a…
These globular clusters are almost as old as the universe itself and hold valuable information on how the first generations of stars and galaxies formed. Now a…
In the last few years, much work has been done to improve the efficiency with which these devices convert sunlight into power, including the development of new…
For several years, physicists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), USA, have studied an unusual state of…
The ability to diagnose and predict the properties of materials is vital, particularly in the expanding field of nanotechnology. Electron and atom-probe…
But that is not all: During the long maintenance break in 2011, the instrument PGAA (Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis) was improved to give it the best ratio…
Microscopic channels of gold nanoparticles have the ability to transmit electromagnetic energy that starts as light and propagates via “dark plasmons,”…
