By doping alumina crystals with neodymium ions, engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new laser material that is capable of emitting ultra-short, high-power pulses—a combination that could ...
All matter is composed of atoms, which are too small to see without powerful modern instruments including electron microscopes. The same electrons that form images of atomic structures can also be used to move atoms in materials. ...
ANSTO has contributed to research led by the University of Sydney, involving doping transition metals in a polymorph of bismuth oxide in a search for more structural stability.
Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed flexible terahertz imagers based on chemically tunable carbon nanotube materials. The findings expand the scope of terahertz applications to include wrap-around, ...
A team of researchers with members from IBM Research-Zurich and RWTH Aachen University has announced the development of a new PCM (phase change memory) design that offers miniaturized memory cell volume down to three nanometers. ...
Researchers have found a way to convert nanoparticle-coated microscopic beads into lasers smaller than red blood cells.
The vibrational motion of an atom in a crystal propagates to neighboring atoms, which leads to wavelike propagation of the vibrations throughout the crystal. The way in which these natural vibrations travel through the crystalline ...
A recent article in the sustainable chemistry journal ChemSusChem revealed researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are "doping" nanoparticles to enhance their ability to capture carbon dioxide and provide a raw source ...
The next generation of energy-efficient power electronics, high-frequency communication systems, and solid-state lighting rely on materials known as wide bandgap semiconductors. Circuits based on these materials can operate ...
1T-TiSe2 has been widely studied in the past few decades as one of the typical charge density wave (CDW) materials. Recently, superconductivity was realized in this system through Cu intercalation, pressure or electric gating, ...
