Surface plasmons are quanta of collective oscillations of free electrons at metal-insulator interface, usually excited by photons.
Since it was first proposed in 1950s by Ritchie, new interests have been aroused due t...
Simon Billinge, a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been named a recipient of the Centre for Diffraction Data’s 2010 J. D. Hanawalt Award, along with his collaborator and former advisor, Takeshi Egami of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ad3868/polymer_bulletin) has announced the addition of Rapra Technology Ltd's new subscription "Polymer Bulletin - Polymeric Membranes" to their offering.
A wrench or a screwdriver of a single size is useful for some jobs, but for a more complicated project, you need a set of tools of different sizes. Following this guiding principle, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have engineered a nanoscale fluidic device that functions as a miniature "multi-tool" for working with nanoparticles—objects whose dimensions are measured in nanometers, or billionths of a meter.
Physicists are divided on whether string theory is a viable theory of everything, but many agree that it offers a new way to look at physical phenomena that have otherwise proven difficult to describe. In the past decade, physicists have used string theory to build a connection between quantum and gravitational mechanics, known as gauge/gravity duality.
A team of Harvard physicists led by Mikhail D. Lukin has achieved the first-ever quantum entanglement of photons and solid-state materials.
The work marks a key advance toward practical quantum networks, as the first ...
Researchers have overcome a fundamental obstacle in using new "metamaterials" for radical advances in optical technologies, including ultra-powerful microscopes and computers and a possible invisibility cloak.
Thin layers of oxide materials and their interfaces have been observed in atomic resolution during growth for the first time by researchers at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, providing new insight into the complicated link between their structure and properties.
An octopus-like polymer can "walk" along the wall of a narrow channel as it is pushed through by a solvent. Now research in The Journal of Chemical Physics, which is published by the American Institute of Physi...
One of the most promising technologies for making inexpensive but reasonably efficient solar photovoltaic cells just got much cheaper.
