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 ...

The challenge is to transition from government-driven momentum to market-led growth, expanding into high-alpha, higher-margin ...

Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit their unparalleled precision at higher energies.

Rats exhibit significant recovery of locomotor function following incomplete spinal cord injuries, albeit with altered gait expression and reduced speed and stepping frequency. These changes likely ...

We have designed a switchable ultrathin THz linearly and circularly reflective polarization converter (RPC) by inserting phase-change material, vanadium dioxide (VO2), into a chiral metasurface (CM).

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

The consistency problem of large-scale complex clusters is closely related to the phase transition problem of complex networks. The structure of complex networks mainly affects the phase transition of ...
