Scientists have given us a plethora of new materials - all created by combining individual elements under varying temperatures and other conditions. But to tweak an intermetallic compound…
The modern world - with its ubiquitous electronic devices and electrical power - can trace its lineage directly to the discovery, less than two centuries ago, of the link between electricity…
It's the Clark Kent of oxide compounds, and - on its own - it is pretty boring. But slice europium titanate nanometres thin and physically stretch it, and then it takes on super hero-like…
As the electronics industry works toward developing smaller and more compact devices, the need to create new types of scaled-down semiconductors that are more efficient and use less…
An international team of physicists has for the first time observed magnetic behaviour in an atomic gas, addressing a decades-old debate as to whether it is possible for a gas or liquid…
