On May 20th, 2019, the world celebrates World Metrology Day. Although an annual celebration, this year in particular stands out from the rest as it opens a new era of precision in physics. Starting today, all seven base units of the International System of Units (SI)...
A group of scientists from Philipps-Universität Marburg have performed a careful and systematic study of organic film formation on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystals.
A workshop on the emerging field of Antiferromagnetic Spintronics focuses on making antiferromagnets active elements of spintronic devices
Striking similarity in key ingredients for topological insulators (TI) and effective thermoelectrics are announced.
A team from ICMMO (Institut de Chimie Moléculaire d’Orsay) of Université Paris-Saclay recently showed that entropy-stabilized oxides can be substituted by aliovalent elements with charge compensation mechanisms.
Droop, the decrease of efficiency with drive, is a major technology topic for InGaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Due to the need to develop efficient, low cost photovoltaics, different emerging photovoltaic technologies have been attracting increasing attention.
The ability to electrically control magnetism in a gate dielectric is demonstrated by physicists at North Carolina State University.
Atomically thin transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently attracted a lot of research interest. Like graphene, they can be prepared as two-dimensional crystals by exfoliation. Unlike graphene, they are semiconductors with large band gaps, which make them...
