A team of researchers from the Lomonosov Moscow State University’s Faculty of Physics discovered a stretching of acicular diamond crystallites under an electric field action.
Investigations of nonlinear phenomena of magneto-plasmonic waveguides is enthralling because of their basic significance as well as their prospective use in integrated nanoplasmonic devices for manifold usability in chip-scale plasmonic communication systems.
How a material breaks is one of the vital properties scientists consider when designing layered composites that mimic those discovered in nature. Rice University engineers have developed a method to decode the interactions between materials and the structures they form and this can help increase their stiffness, toughness, strength, and fracture strain.
Insulating materials were assumed to be "boring" materials, for decades, from an electronics point of view, since electrons are considered to be immobile and do not have the potential to contribute to electrical conduction.
Earlier this year, a technique involving moderately high temperatures, high pressures, and a small amount of glassy carbon as starting material was used to synthesize amorphous diamond for the first time.
A team of physicists from the U.S., Russia, and Sweden has showed a highly extraordinary optical effect: They managed to “virtually” absorb light employing a material that has no light-absorbing capacity.
Realization of room temperature spin-orbit torque driven magnetization switching in topological insulator-ferromagnet heterostructures is considered to have promising applications in high integration density memories and logic devices and low power consumption.
The heat generated in electronic devices (e.g. computers) is generally wasted. At present, physicists from Bielefeld University have come up with a technique to put the waste heat to good use—they use the heat to produce magnetic signals called as “spin currents.”
The field of electrochemistry has gone through a resurgence in the recent past, and at present, a number of research teams are analyzing the environment-friendly synthesis or transformation of molecules.
Germanium, considered to be a more efficient elemental semiconductor than silicon, was the material of choice in the early history of electronic devices. Eventually, the high cost of developing germanium crystals concealed its efficiency, and silicon thus captured the field.
