Field-directed and self-propelled colloidal assembly can be used to build micromachines to perform complex motions and functions, although their integration as heterogenous components with specified structures, dynamics and ...
Researchers at Peking University in China have successfully observed the elusive 02+ state of 8He, revealing a novel cluster structure with two strongly correlated neutron pairs. This finding provides insights into exotic ...
Miniaturized and multicolored light-emitting device arrays provide a promising instrument to sense, image and compute in materials science and applied physics. A range of emission colors can be achieved by using conventional ...
A new study shows that it is possible to use mechanical force to deliberately alter chemical reactions and increase chemical selectivity—a grand challenge of the field.
