The researchers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands have delved deep into the realm of photons, shedding light on their behavior and potential applications. Unlike electrons that orbit atoms in defined shapes, photons exhibit a broader range of behaviors and are much easier to manipulate. The discoveries made by these researchers have far-reaching

The advancement of Multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has created excitement among scientists. Researchers in China have proposed an innovative interlayer sensitization strategy to enhance the electroluminescence (EL) efficiencies of blue MR-TADF emitters, leading to the development of blue hyperfluorescence OLEDs with exceptional color quality

In recent research conducted by the Max Born Institute (MBI) and an international team of scientists, a groundbreaking non-thermal approach to manipulating magnetization has been discovered. This innovative method utilizes intense laser pulses of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation to induce large magnetization changes in a ferrimagnetic iron-gadolinium alloy. The study, published in Communications Physics, demonstrates

The groundbreaking research conducted by Aalto University in Finland sheds light on the incredible power of magnets to control bacterial behavior. Instead of directly interacting with the bacteria themselves, magnets are used to manipulate the alignment of bacteria in a liquid filled with magnetic nanoparticles. This innovative approach not only provides a way to organize

In a recent study conducted by a research team in Japan, a major breakthrough has been achieved in the observation of magnetic fields at incredibly small scales. This study involved scientists from renowned institutions such as Hitachi, Ltd., Kyushu University, RIKEN, and HREM Research Inc.

As technology continues to advance, the need for smarter and more powerful devices has become paramount. However, a major challenge in this pursuit is the ability to analyze materials at an increasingly intimate level to ensure optimal performance. Physicists at Michigan State University have made significant strides in this area by introducing a pioneering technique

The quest to unravel the mystery of dark matter has been ongoing for decades, with scientists dedicating their careers to understanding this elusive substance. Dark matter, which makes up approximately 80% of the matter in the universe, is invisible and does not interact with light. Despite its unseen nature, the effects of dark matter’s gravity

A groundbreaking theory has recently unlocked the secrets behind how soft materials break. This discovery has the potential to revolutionize the way we design and create materials, leading to products that are not only more resistant and durable but also more environmentally friendly. The study, titled “Elastic instability behind brittle fracture,” was published in Physical

When ultrafast electrons are deflected, they emit light, known as synchrotron radiation. This type of light is commonly used in storage rings, where magnets compel the particles to follow a closed path. The light emitted is longitudinally incoherent and consists of a broad spectrum of wavelengths, making it ideal for materials research due to its

Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a theory in particle physics that introduces superpartner particles for all known particles, providing a solution to some of the unanswered questions in the field. One example is the existence of the top squark or “stop,” which is the superpartner of the top quark in the Standard Model. In 2021, the CMS

Quantum computing is a rapidly advancing field that has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach complex calculations.
