Polarization, as a primary physical quantity of light, is of great interest to almost all optical sciences and technologies. Along with linear polarization detection, circular polarization (or light ellipticity) detection ...
Since the realization that a linearly polarized light can create K-K' valley coherent excitons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors back in 2013, it has been a longstanding goal for researchers ...
A research group led by Prof. Wang Liping at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has reported the enhanced oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and biperiodic ...
Physicists have been riveted by systems composed of materials only one or a few layers of atoms thick. When a few sheets of these two-dimensional materials are stacked together, a geometric pattern called a moiré pattern ...
A key objective in the electronics engineering field is to develop transistors and other electronic components that are increasingly compact and efficient, utilizing readily available processes and materials. Among the transistors ...
Researchers at Kanazawa University report in ACS Nano how ultrathin layers of tin disulfide can be used to accelerate the chemical reduction of carbon dioxide—a finding that is highly relevant for our quest towards a carbon-neutral ...
Recently, a research team led by Prof. Huang Qing at the Institute of Intelligent Machines, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) provided a new nanocomposite based on Bi2MoO6/MoS2/AuNRs for near-infrared (NIR)-II ...
Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a scalable hydrothermal approach for obtaining ferromagnetic single-atom spin catalysts which can boost the efficiency of water splitting reactions under ...
The tiny visual systems of flying insects have inspired researchers of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) to develop optoelectronic graded neurons for perceiving dynamic motion, enriching the functions of vision ...
At least 2 billion people worldwide routinely drink water contaminated with disease-causing microbes.
