Scientists are making significant progress in quantum physics, developing new ways to study quantum phenomena that could lead ...

MIT researchers developed a more powerful magnetic transistor that could be used to design simpler circuits and create faster and more energy-efficient electronics.

Phononic circuits are emerging devices that can manipulate sound waves (i.e., phonons) in ways that resemble how electronic ...

Most people have a phone charger plugged in next to their bed, which they never bother to switch off at the wall - but is that risky to do?

“You can carry, but not charge, because they consist of a rechargeable battery housed in a protective casing, along with ...

Black phosphorus nanoribbons (BPNRs), thin and narrow ribbon-like strips of black phosphorus, are known to exhibit highly ...

Much recent progress has been made in spintronics, for example, that spin loss can be converted back into magnetisation, making spintronics electronics even more energy-efficient, or that spintronics ...

A new thermogalvanic device uses nanoparticles to control ion flow, allowing it to convert waste heat to electricity and store the energy without external batteries.

University of Michigan engineers have created a new nanostructure that can guide and stop excitons at room temperature. Excitons are quantum quasiparticles that carry energy without charge. The team ...

A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum quasiparticles called excitons at room temperature.
