Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

The efficiency of quantum computers, sensors and other applications often relies on the properties of electrons, including ...

Scientists have observed a brand-new and exotic atomic nucleus: aluminium-20. Unlike anything seen before, it decays through ...

Solar cells and computer chips need silicon layers that are as perfect as possible. Every imperfection in the crystalline structure increases the risk of reduced efficiency or defective switching ...

III-V semiconductor lasers can be monolithically integrated with photonic chips by directly growing a crystalline layer of ...

Lasers that are fabricated directly onto silicon photonic chips offer several advantages over external laser sources, such as ...

Towards realization of a practical silicon-based quantum computer, we have integrated a charge sensor together with a quantum dot array amenable to large-scale integration by self-aligned double-gate ...
