Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an important technique for this, as it reveals detailed insights about a material's composition, ...
A research team has taken a major step forward in the field of spintronics, a technology that uses not only the charge but also the spin of electrons to create faster, smarter, and more energy-efficient electronic devices. ...
A new study led by researchers at the University at Albany's Center for Technology in Government finds that in some rural and tribal communities, the public library remains the single most important access point for technology, ...
Paula Clare Harper, AB'10, studies music, sound and the internet. An assistant professor of music at the University of Chicago, she coedited a collection of essays brought together in the book "Taylor Swift: The Star, the ...
President Donald Trump has threatened to levy higher tariffs on more than two dozen countries and on various products in the past few months. China in particular has been a target of the administration's trade wars, aimed ...
Is it wizardry? Physicists at the University of Konstanz have succeeded in changing the properties of a material in a non-thermal way with the help of light and magnons. The new process is not only promising for information ...
For centuries, Korea has stood at the heart of fermentation culture. Traditional Korean alcohols made from rice, nuruk (fermentation starter), and water were perfected through the intuition and lived experiences of brewers, ...
Whether you read negative news online or watch videos of adorable puppies on social media, spending excessive time on your device can be harmful. Doomscrolling, or binging negative information through various feeds, can take ...
In an advance in microsensor technology, researchers have unveiled an ultra-sensitive gas detection method using surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors enhanced by the physics of exceptional points (EPs). These EPs, phenomena ...
Scientists from Skoltech, the Institute of Nanotechnology of Microelectronics, RAS, and other research centers have refined the understanding of how plasma treatment of carbon-based electrodes affects the key characteristics ...
