Researchers at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology have developed a coherent and controllable spin-optical laser based on a single atomic layer. This discovery is enabled by coherent spin-dependent interactions between ...
Polarons are quasiparticles composed of excess electrons dressed with virtual phonon clouds. They are ubiquitous in materials and play a key role in various physicochemical properties, including superconductivity, photocatalysis ...
Researchers at the University of Johannesburg have developed a new type of photocatalyst that harnesses the visible portion of the sunlight spectrum. Currently, economical and environmentally-friendly photocatalysts only ...
Creating novel materials by combining layers with unique, beneficial properties seems like a fairly intuitive process—stack up the materials and stack up the benefits. This isn't always the case, however. Not every material ...
The invention of the printing press revolutionized duplication of the written word, giving the hands of tired scribes a break and making written material more accessible. A similar breakthrough has happened in reverse in ...
The team, led by Professor Jiwoong Yang from the Department of Energy Engineering at DGIST, and in collaboration with the team led by Professor Jungwon Park from the School of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Seoul ...
While nanocrystals offer color tunability and are used in various technologies, achieving different colors requires using different nanocrystals for each color, and dynamic switching between colors has not been possible.
