Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a quantum dot. Just like bumping the tower can shift the blocks and change its ...

Ferroelectrics are seen as promising candidates for the electronics of tomorrow. An experiment at the world's largest X-ray laser—the European XFEL in Schenefeld near Hamburg—now shows that their ...

Shining intense infrared laser pulses on titanium generates higher-frequency light, revealing how its optical properties change in different directions due to variations in electron movement and ...

A team of interdisciplinary scientists has developed flexible fibers with self-healing, light-emitting and magnetic properties. The Scalable Hydrogel-clad Ionotronic Nickel-core Electroluminescent ...
