Integrated photonics is making strides towards hosting an increasing range of functionalities on a chip. Examples include information processing and computation as well as optical sensing and ranging applications. This has ...
Three-dimensional (3D) imaging at the nanometer scale enables important insights in biology and material behaviors, including virus function, structural damage, and nanoelectronics.
The UK has a strange relationship with its woodlands. Trees and woods form part of the national identity, yet with only about 13% tree cover, it is one of the least wooded countries in Europe.
Researchers have developed a process to turn crab shells into a bioplastic that can be used to make optical components known as diffraction gratings. The resulting lightweight, inexpensive gratings are biodegradable and could ...
No one really knows how much snow fell on the infamous Donner Party when the pioneers were trapped atop the Sierra Nevada for months and dozens died near Lake Tahoe in the winter of 1846-47.
A new process that lets scientists chemically cut apart and stitch together nanoscopic layers of two-dimensional materials—like a tailor altering a suit—could be just the tool for designing the technology of a sustainable ...
Addressable active layers are highly required in optoelectronic devices to realize functional integration and application. Metal halide perovskites have shown promising applications in optoelectronic devices due to their ...
When the eminent Australian anthropologist W. E. H. Stanner first published his essay on "The Dreaming" in 1956, there was increasing scholarly and popular interest in the complexity and duration of Australia's Indigenous ...
Quantum computers are highly energy-efficient and extremely powerful supercomputers. But for these machines to realize their full potential in new applications like artificial intelligence or machine learning, researchers ...
West Virginia University physicists have made a breakthrough on an age-old limitation of the first law of thermodynamics.
