A new study reveals that MoSe2, a prominent material of the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) family, loses relative stiffness when its thickness is reduced.
Researchers extended the storage time of the optical memories to over one hour. It broke the record of one minute achieved by researchers in 2013, and made a great stride towards the application of quantum memories.
The promise of a quantum internet depends on the complexities of harnessing light to transmit quantum information over fiber optic networks. A potential step forward was reported by researchers who developed integrated chips that can generate light particles on demand and without the need for extreme refrigeration.
A droplet-based electricity generator features a new transistor structure that enables highly efficient energy conversion rates from single drops of falling water.
Scientists are now measuring tinier moon dust particles than ever before, a step toward more precisely explaining the Moon's apparent color and brightness. This in turn might help improve tracking of weather patterns and other phenomena by satellite cameras that use the Moon as a calibration source.
Through a technique known as DNA origami, scientists have created the fastest, most persistent DNA nano motor yet. The findings provide a blueprint for how to optimize the design of motors at the nanoscale.
