It is often desirable to restrict flows—whether of sound, electricity, or heat—to one direction, but naturally occurring systems almost never...
In a study published in Nature Communications, Prof. Xiang Bin’s group from University of Science and Technology of China of...
A team of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames National Laboratory demonstrated a way to advance the role...
Photonic chips have revolutionized data-heavy technologies. On their own or in concert with traditional electronic circuits, these laser-powered devices send...
Inside a lab, scientists marvel at a strange state that forms when they cool down atoms to nearly absolute zero....
Researchers have developed a new high-speed way to detect the location, size and category of multiple objects without acquiring images...
Large numbers can only be factorized with a great deal of computational effort. Physicists at the University of Innsbruck, Austria,...
In physics, one often has to deal with different scales that can be described separately from one another: For the...
Transporting energy is costly. When a current runs through conductive materials, some of the energy is lost due to resistance...
Researchers in Germany and the U.S. have shown for the first time that terahertz (THz) light pulses can stabilize ferromagnetism...
Researchers at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their collaborators have measured...
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated a prototype lidar system that uses quantum detection technology to acquire 3D images...
