Scientists have confirmed the existence of a predicted room temperature superconductor, while explaining the microscopic ...

Transition metals and non-ferrous metals such as copper, nickel and cobalt are not only suitable as materials in engineering and technology, but also for a wide range of applications in ...

A new study found that orbital ordering in a vanadate compound exhibits a clear nucleation-growth behavior. Their observation is the first of its kind, where electrons in an inorganic solid created ...

The new study -- led by Feng Liu, a professor of materials science and engineering -- supports a controversial 2000 study by German physicist Franz Giessibl, who claimed he was able to use an atomic ...

Atomic vibrations can transfer orbital angular momentum to electrons in a non-magnetic material. (Nanowerk News) To keep up with today’s computing needs, researchers mine the quantum realm to find ...

The Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) and a team of U.S. researchers have theoretically demonstrated that a helical nanowire, twisted like a screw, can function as a ‘quantum ...

X-ray experiments reveal that a semimetal exhibits “orbital texture”—an exotic electronic structure resulting in spin-dependent electron transport. In 1999 researchers discovered that thin films of ...

Electrons confined above the surface of liquid helium form an exceptionally clean two-dimensional electron system, free from the disorder that characterises semiconductor interfaces. Repelled by their ...
