Electron politics: Physicists probe organization at the quantum level
A new study this week finds that “quantum critical points” in exotic electronic materials can act much like polarizing “hot button issues” in an election….
New Nanotech Technique for Lower-Cost Materials Repair
Their discovery is reported this week in the current issue of Nature Nanotechnology. The new technique has many practical implications, especially that…
Sharpening the focus of microscopes
A new advanced imaging scheme—with a resolution ten times better than that of its counterparts to date—can resolve objects as small as atoms1. Previously, the…
Kaneka and imec develop high-efficiency heterojunction silicon solar cells with copper electroplating
The results were obtained by applying copper electroplating technology, which was developed by Kaneka based on imec’s existing copper electroplating…
Pitt discoveries in quantum physics could change face of technology
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have made advances in better understanding correlated quantum matter that could change technology as we know it,…
Impurity atoms introduce waves of disorder in exotic electronic material
It's a basic technique learned early, maybe even before kindergarten: Pulling things apart – from toy cars to complicated electronic materials – can reveal a…
