A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has designed a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can rapidly snap into ...

Spintronics, or spin-electronics, is a revolutionary approach to information processing that utilizes the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of electrons, rather than solely relying on electric charge ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive ...

Researchers proposed a novel strategy for using a magnetic field to boost the efficiency of single-atom catalysts -- thus speeding up helpful reactions used for ammonia production and wastewater ...

The twisting direction of metal nanoparticles is controlled to be right- or left-handed by adding chiral molecules, which are adsorbed onto the particle surface, during the electrochemical reduction ...
