Once a performance barrier, material quirk could improve telecommunications
Aug 21, 2018 (SPX)
The discovery, reported in the journal Nature, shows how domain walls - the naturally occurring boundaries, separating atoms with different directions of relati...
Magnetic antiparticles offer new horizons for information technologies
Aug 17, 2018 (SPX)
Moving electrons around in circuits is the basis for creating useful functions in electronics. But would their guiding principles still apply for positrons, i.e...
Smallest transistor worldwide switches current with a single atom in solid electrolyte
Aug 17, 2018 (SPX)
Digitization results in a high energy consumption. In industrialized countries, information technology presently has a share of more than 10% in total power con...
New ultrathin optic cavities allow simultaneous color production on an electronic chip
Aug 17, 2018 (SPX)
Only using one color of light at a time on an electronic chip currently limits technologies based on sensing changes in scattered color, such as detecting virus...
Flipping the switch on supramolecular electronics
