Researchers introduced intrinsically nonlocal metamaterials, demonstrating that nanoscale semiconductor layering can shape a material’s intrinsic charge-carrier response and thereby determine how light propagates. The study combines theory, simulations, and room-temperature infrared experiments to reveal electromagnetic modes that conventional local models cannot explain.
Summer has hit the Northern Hemisphere, bringing a roller-coaster of temperature and humidity swings to many areas.
Valmet launches new Valmet Advantage NTTe technology that enables the production of a completely new type of tissue paper with exceptional softness and a distinctive textured appearance.
Quantum Computing Inc., a quantum optics and integrated photonics technology company, today announced the completion of acquiring NHanced Semiconductors, Inc. ("NHanced"), for a combination of cash and QCi stock valued at $73.1 million, subject to customary adjustments, and up to an additional $72.0 million if certain performance targets are achieved (the "Transaction").
Scientists have revolutionized the way metals are made by using lower and slower heating of alloys to control how atoms self-organize during material manufacturing.
This week, at the 2026 IEEE / JSAP symposium on VLSI Technology & Circuits, imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in advanced semiconductor technologies, presents two advances in ferroelectric memory research, targeting both ferroelectric capacitors and ferroelectric field-effect transistors as emerging candidates to enable low-voltage operation and high-density integration.
Inside computer chips are billions of tiny transistors made from silicon.
Researchers developed a glaze-inspired CoO–Cr2O3 ceramic coating that self-heals thermally induced cracks through cobalt oxide phase segregation at elevated temperatures. The coating mimics protective cobalt-superalloy glaze layers, improving crack tolerance and supporting high-temperature tribological performance for gas turbine engine surfaces.
Researchers identified galvanic corrosion between deposited zinc and current collectors as a major, previously underappreciated cause of irreversible zinc loss in anode-less aqueous zinc batteries. A PVDF/CeF3 hybrid interface suppressed corrosion, guided dense zinc deposition, and enabled longer cycling, lower self-discharge, and pouch-cell energy densities exceeding 90 Wh L?¹.
Researchers developed SG-CDVAE, a symmetry-aware generative AI framework that embeds space-group information into the generation of crystal structures to improve the search for high-symmetry antiferromagnets. From 110,000 generated structures, the workflow identified 80 high-symmetry AFM candidates, of which 4 were computationally validated as thermodynamically and dynamically stable.
