The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may be, counterintuitively, antiferromagnets. Today, the most widely used ...

Astronomers have reported observations of a rare star system consisting of one star orbiting a system of three more tightly ...

Here is why gallium nitride (GaN) is the natural successor to silicon MOSFETs in the 100–650 V class of power devices.

The standard story of the origin of our solar system has gone like this: 4.6 billion years ago, a giant cloud of dust hung frozen in space. Then the explosion of a nearby star caused part of that dust ...

III-V photonic crystal (PhC) lasers are potential ultra-compact and power-efficient light sources for future on-chip optical ...

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; so, as you probably learnt in school, dictates Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion. It is this law that explains everything from how walking ...
