This article examines how the unique structures of graphene and silica aerogels enable exceptional thermal, electrical, and ...

Femtosecond lasers are turning nanostructures into a new kind of thermal hardware, where heat can be sculpted almost as precisely as light. By carving periodic patterns and buried modifications into ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford demonstrate an approach to interpreting how materials interact with polarized light, ...

Zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) materials are widely used in precision optics, cryogenic equipment and sensors, where even small ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Current superresolution imaging can beat the Rayleigh limit but struggles with complex imaging tasks. Here, the authors use a quantum-learning framework to address these challenges and introduce an ...

Jennifer Simonson is a business journalist with a decade of experience covering entrepreneurship and small business. Drawing on her background as a founder of multiple startups, she writes for Forbes ...

Later work by others built on this, showing that these energy levels are a fundamental part of how the universe works at the smallest scales. It was a huge step in moving away from older ideas about ...
