Controlling light at dimensions thousands of times smaller than the thickness of a human hair is one of the pillars of modern ...

Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that ...

New research offers clearer insight into how phase transitions unfold at the atomic scale in real materials. When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. Once the melting ...

Research is paving the way for advanced diamond-based technologies in electronics and quantum computing. Imagine placing an object under a microscope and pressing a button to rearrange the surface ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.

(Nanowerk News) In a scientific breakthrough, an international research team from Germany's Forschungszentrum Jülich and Korea's IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) developed a quantum sensor ...

The results have been published in the prestigious journal Nature Nanotechnology and analyze the behavior of polaritons, hybrid light–matter quasiparticles. The research is part of the TWISTOPTICS ...

A new technical paper titled “In Situ Atomic-Scale Investigation of Electromigration Behavior in Cu–Cu Joints at High Current Density” was published by researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung ...

Through a novel combination of machine learning and atomic force microscopy, researchers in China have unveiled the molecular ...

Physicists have found a way to study the inner workings of Josephson junctions without using electronics at all.
