Applications like gas sensing, medical and astronomical imaging and even quantum technologies could benefit
New microscopy technique could be used to identify weak spots in metals and investigate biostructures
New approach coats microneedle arrays with biomaterials and bioactive compounds more efficiently than before
A new technique allows for much better control of twist angle and strain in layered two-dimensional materials
New way of assembling ordered quantum rod arrays could have applications in next-generation display technology
Researchers have developed a universal theory that could help explain the odd behaviours of these materials
Metamaterials known as time interfaces reshape pulses of light
Phenomenon known as fermionic breakdown occurs near a magnetic quantum phase transition in a heavy-fermion compound
Unexpected electron transport behaviour shows how much we don’t know about topological materials, say physicists
Connecting the wave properties of light to the mechanical properties of point masses could help explain optical phenomena
