Phys.org / Spin photovoltaic effects in magnetic van der Waals heterostructures
In a new report now published on Science Advances, Tiancheng Song and a research team at the department of physics, University of Washington, U.S., and materials and nanoarchitectronics in Japan and China, detailed spin photovoltaic ...
Phys.org / Fast nanoparticle diffusion in synovial fluid and hyaluronic acid solutions
Nanoparticles have applications as therapeutic agents for joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. But the role of nanoparticle diffusion in synovial fluid or the fluid inside the joint is incompletely understood. In a new ...
Phys.org / Materials for superconducting qubits
The connection between microscopic material properties and qubit coherence are not well understood despite practical evidence that material imperfections present an obstacle to applications of superconducting qubits. In a ...
Phys.org / Extremely strong nano-twinned pure nickel with extremely fine twin thickness
In a new report on Science Advances, Fenghui Duan and a research team in China detailed continuous strengthening in nanotwinned pure Nickel materials. The material recorded an unprecedented strength of 4.0 GPa at extremely ...
Medical Xpress / Soft tissue regeneration in a cell-free scaffold microenvironment
In a new report now published on Scientific Reports, Irini Gerges and a team of scientists in Italy and the U.S. studied the importance of biomechanical and biochemical cues to create culture conditions suited for three-dimensional ...
Phys.org / In-situ diagnostic of femtosecond laser probe pulses for ultrafast imaging applications
Ultrafast imaging plays an important role in physics and chemistry to investigate the femtosecond dynamics of nonuniform samples. The method is based on understanding phenomena induced by an ultrashort laser pump pulse using ...
Phys.org / Piezoelectric microelectromechanical system-based optical metasurfaces
Optical metasurfaces can unprecedently regulate versatile wavefronts at the subwavelength scale. Most well-established optical metasurfaces are, however, static and feature well-defined optical responses that are determined ...
Phys.org / Observing a prethermal discrete time crystal
A framework of statistical physics can be extended to the nonequilibrium setting to discover previously unidentified phases of matter catalyzed by periodic driving. Scientists aim to reduce the runaway heating associated ...
Phys.org / Self-healing liquid-metal elastomers
Soft electronics are increasingly in demand for diverse applications, but they lack rigid enclosures and are therefore susceptible to premature disposal after electronic applications. It is therefore necessary to create soft ...
Phys.org / A cavitation-on-a-chip device with a multiple microchannel configuration
Hydrodynamic cavitation is a major phase change phenomena that can occur with a sudden decrease in the local static pressure within a fluid. The emergence of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and high-speed microfluidic ...
Phys.org / Order from disorder in the sarcomere
Alpha-actinin can cross-link actin filaments and anchor them to the Z-disk in sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are a structural unit of myofibril in striated muscle. The FATZ (filamin, α-actinin- and telethonin-binding protein of the ...
Tech Xplore / Smart fabrics and self-powered sensing
Smart fabrics and wearable electronics can be developed using highly conductive and stretchy fibers. Most of these fiber conductors are, however, strain sensitive with limited conductance on stretching. As a result, a new ...
Phys.org / Dynamics of contact electrification
A new report on Science Advances developed by Mirco Kaponig and colleagues in physics and nanointegration in Germany, detailed the very basic concept of contact electrification between two metals. In a new experimental method, ...
Phys.org / Strain-driven autonomous control of cation distribution for artificial ferroelectrics
Theoretical material design and experimental synthesis have advanced in the past few decades with a key role in the development of functional materials, useful for next generation technologies. Ultimately, however, the goal ...
Phys.org / Charge transport physics of a unique class of rigid-rod conjugated polymers
In a new report now published on Science Advances, Mingfei Xiao and a team of interdisciplinary and international scientists in the U.K., Saudi Arabia, Australia, India, China and Belgium, investigated the charge transport ...
