Bringing superconducting nanostructures to 3D

The move from two to three dimensions can have a significant impact on how a system behaves, whether it is folding a sheet of paper into a paper airplane or twisting a wire into a helical spring. At the nanoscale, 1,000 times ...

Revolution in friction: A way to make super-smooth materials

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics at the University of Lodz have published an article on friction in the journal Small. Their research on "bismuth islands" moving on the surface of graphite confirmed ...
