Two photons are entangled, one in polarization and the other in orbital angular momentum — twisted light. By passing the polarization photon through the fiber and keeping the twisted light...

It images single atoms. It maps atomic-scale hills and valleys on metal and insulating surfaces. And it records the flow of current across atom-thin materials subject to giant magnetic fields....

A team led by Prof. Du Jiangfeng, Prof. Shi Fazhan, and Prof. Wang Ya from University of Science and Technology of China, of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, proposed a...

RIKEN physicists have created an array of skyrmions (green swirls) in a material that is both centrosymmetric and lacks geometrical frustration. The blue spheres are conduction electrons.Credit: RIKEN Center for...

In the solvent-dominated regime, the dots are capped with long oleic acid molecules, which hamper the flow of electricity. After the transition, these are replaced by linker molecules, allowing the...

Novel material nanoarchitecture enables the development of new-generation high-energy batteries beyond Li-ion chemistry. Credit: Supplied by University of Technology Sydney New types of cathodes, suitable for advanced energy storage, can...

HAADF-STEM image reveals the ultrathin disordered layer at the grain boundaries with a thickness of about 5nm. Credit: Science DOI: 10.1126/science.abb6830. Intermetallic alloys potentially have high strength in a high-temperature...
