Beneath the surface lies the volatile reality of a state stretched thin due to hostile neighbours, and because of deepening ...

At 4 degrees Kelvin, most electro-optic materials falter. Nanoelectronics R&D center imec has now successfully engineered ...

A research team from Queen Mary University of London has discovered a new way to engineer thin films that can "tune" ...

A four-year analysis conducted at a testing field in eastern Poland has shown that crystalline solar panels offer a stronger performance than thin-film panels at high latitudes. The tests revealed ...

Researchers at imec, Leuven, Belgium, in collaboration with KU Leuven and Ghent University, have re-engineered a common crystal, strontium titanate (SrTiO 3) so it behaves with record performance at ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new atomically layered material which experiences a five order of magnitude resistivity reduction when oxidized, more than a hundred ...

Surfaces, interfaces and thin films are planar structures that occur on the boundary of a material or at the junction between two different media. The physics of these systems is often heavily ...
