Green light on gold atoms

“Scientists at EPFL discover that laser-driven rearrangement of just a few gold atoms inside nanoscale antennas can be observed by the naked eye. Because individual atoms or molecules are 100 to 1000 times smaller than the wavelength of visible light …

Harmonious electronic structure leads to enhanced quantum materials

“The electronic structure of metallic materials determines the behavior of electron transport. Magnetic Weyl semimetals have a unique topological electronic structure - the electron’s motion is dynamically linked to its spin. These Weyl semimetals have come to be the most …

Is Earth’s core lopsided? Strange goings-on in our planet’s interior.

“For reasons unknown, Earth’s solid-iron inner core is growing faster on one side than the other, and it has been ever since it started to freeze out from molten iron more than half a billion years ago, according to …

Light-Shrinking Material Lets Ordinary Microscope See in Super Resolution

“Electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego developed a technology that improves the resolution of an ordinary light microscope so that it can be used to directly observe finer structures and details in living cells. The technology turns …

Magnetic materials analysis has never been so comprehensible

“Professor Andreas Michels, physicist at the University of Luxembourg, explores the complex world of magnetic materials by shooting neutrons on them. He has now published his insights in a 380-page-thick monograph entitled “Magnetic Small-Angle Neutron Scattering − A Probe for Mesoscale …

Map integrity: Researchers explore ways to detect ‘deep fakes’ in geography

“Can you trust the map on your smartphone, or the satellite image on your computer screen? So far, yes, but it may only be a matter of time until the growing problem of “deep fakes” converges with geographical information science …

Micron Accelerates Breakthrough Platform Innovation With Advancements Across Industry’s First 176-Layer NAND and 1-Alpha DRAM

“Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today unveiled memory and storage innovations across its portfolio based on its industry-leading 176-layer NAND and 1α (1-alpha) DRAM technology, as well as the industry’s first Universal Flash Storage (UFS) 3.1 solution for …

Microsoft acquires ReFirm Labs to enhance IoT security

“Modern computing devices can be thought of as a collection of discrete microprocessors each with a dedicated function like high-speed networking, graphics, Disk I/O, AI, and everything in between. The emergence of the intelligent edge has accelerated the number …

Nanomaterials with laser printing

“Catalysts which generate hydrogen and other substances can be produced more efficiently An interdisciplinary team from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces presents a laser-driven technology that enables them to create nanoparticles out of materials such as copper …

NASA’s Curiosity Rover Captures Shining Clouds on Mars

“The science team is studying the clouds, which arrived earlier and formed higher than expected, to learn more about the Red Planet. Cloudy days are rare in the thin, dry atmosphere of Mars. Clouds are typically found at the planet …
