Researchers have developed a comprehensive manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets - an important step toward advancing spintronic and quantum-information technologies.
Researchers imaged and analyzed THz waves that propagate in form of plasmon polaritons along thin anisotropic semiconductor platelets with wavelengths reduced by up to 65 times compared to THz waves in free space. What's even more intriguing is that the wavelengths vary with the direction of propagation.
Scientists discovered a novel molecular system that uses an alternative chemical energy and employs a novel mechanism to perform mechanical work. By repeatedly contracting and expanding, this molecular motor functions similarly to a classical Stirling engine and helps to distribute cargo to membrane-bound organelles.
Storing data in DNA sounds like science fiction, yet it lies in the near future. Data won't be stored as zeros and ones in a hard drive but in the base pairs that make up DNA: AT and CG.
Smaller than the wavelength of light, the new LED was used to build the world's smallest holographic microscope, paving the way for existing cameras in everyday devices such as mobile phones to be converted into microscopes via only modifications to the silicon chip and software.
