Cell-sized robots can sense temperature, make decisions, and move autonomously using nanowatts of power—no external control ...

Over the past decades, engineers have introduced numerous technologies that rely on light and its underlying characteristics.

At the Met Office, we use a blend of cutting-edge technology and time-tested methods to observe and record the atmosphere’s most important elements. Here’s how we measure sunshine, cloud, visibility ...

Machine learning tools can accelerate all stages of materials discovery, from initial screening to process development.

Twist a stack of atom-thin carbon sheets by just the right amount and the material stops behaving like ordinary metal or insulator. Instead, it starts acting like a peculiar kind of superconductor ...

Research led by Professor Philip C. Y. Chow and his PhD student Ms. Yumeng Song from the Department of Mechanical Engineering ...

This important study shows that different forms and mixtures of cardenolide toxins in tropical milkweed, especially nitrogen- and sulfur-containing types, change how monarch caterpillars eat, grow, ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a ...

MIXING THOUGH, DOWN IN THAT PART OF THE STATE. NOW, IF WE DO GET SOME DOUBLE DIGIT SNOWFALLS HERE, THAT’S NOT SOMETHING WE DO TOO OFTEN IN NOVEMBER WE GET SOME BIG SNOW STORMS DURING THE WINTER. BUT ...

Researchers at Peking University and collaborators have revealed evidence of Mott insulator with thermally induced melting ...

Forming a low-resistivity ohmic contact on p -type SiC is far from easy – it requires an electrode metal with a work function larger than that of p -type SiC. As that condition is rarely met, when ...

Renowned for its expertise in providing suitable laser diodes for space applications (e.g. in missions such as GAIA, CATS, ...
