Researchers achieve the manipulation of the magnetic anisotropy by stabilising dysprosium atoms in metal-organic frameworks on a metallic surface. This strategy could break new ground for the use of lanthanides in single-atom magnetism applications.
Researchers developed a flexible, stretchable battery that bends and stretches like a snake. This new battery is expected to have a wide range of uses, such as in energy storage technology and disaster situations, by applying it to various types of devices, from soft robots to wearable devices.
By layering an optical metasurface onto a microscopic particle, and then using a light source to control it, researchers succeeded in moving the tiny vehicles in a variety of complex and precise ways - and even using them to transport other objects.
