Electromagnetic radiation in the THz frequency band (1012 Hz) can yield enormous applications, from detecting explosives to cancer diagnosis and treatment.
A group of international physicists have for the first time created a semiconductor material with an energy gap between the valence band and the conduction band (band ga…
German and American physicists have for the first time observed the super-exchange interaction between atomic spins in an optical network. Super-exchange interaction is…
French chemists claim they have just created a rubber that can
For more than twenty years, physicists have been unable to accurately explain the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductors, which seem to occur only in special gro…
Block metal glass materials have shown promise in engineering for more than 15 years but often have poor flexibility and toughness, and make them brittle and fragile. Bu…
Materials science researchers in the UK and Germany have developed a new electron microscopy technique that enables the creation of electron diffraction images from a ma…
American and British physicists have for the first time measured these fluctuations in antiferromagnetic materials and surprisingly found them at low temperatures. This…
Spintronic components (generation of electronic components of the future simultaneously exploiting the electronic properties as well as electrical charges) are gradually…
Physicists in Germany claim they have for the first time discovered a material with a natural negative refractive index, instead of the usual positive refractive index.…
Areas with small and isolated superconductivity exist within these substances at temperatures higher than previously known temperatures, according to a study by Princeto…
Researchers at the US Naval Laboratory and Clark Atlanta University have improved the technique of using cobalt (Co) bands to significantly improve the toughness of old…
A team of researchers led by Northwestern University physicists has identified a high-temperature superconductor - Bi-2212, a bismuth-containing compound that can be sui…
4,200 scientific and building materials experts from 68 countries attended the March 2007 Orlando Convention (Florida) Exhibition to vote on the inventions of the greate…
Canadian and US researchers have released information about a new material that can turn off or open the light beam by changing the spin polarization of electrons in the…
