Electronic devices typically use the charge of electrons, but spin - their other degree of freedom - is starting to be exploited.
Cornell researchers used magnetic imaging to obtain the first direct visualization of how electrons flow in a special type of insulator, and by doing so they discovered that the transport current moves through the interior of the material, rather than at the edges, as scientists had long assumed.
A common metal paper clip will stick to a magnet. Scientists classify such iron-containing materials as ferromagnets.
On August 1, 2023, Anton Paar acquired the German company Brabender, which will be integrated into the Anton Paar Group as Anton Paar TorqueTec GmbH.
Australia’s digital technology clusters have been mapped and analyzed on a national scale for the first time as part of a new report released today by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO, and the Tech Council of Australia.
How high are concentrations of microplastics in the environment, in our drinking water or in foods- Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed an automated analysis method for the identification and quantification of particles.
A research team led by Dr. Yoo Sung Jong of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Research Center at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a fuel cell technology with high stability over a long period of time and improved power density compared to conventional fuel cells by introducing three-dimensional structure control technology.
Hiden Analytical proudly presents the innovative HPR-90 'Package Cracker' fill-gas analyser, an advanced instrument designed for accurate measurement of static fill-gas and residual gases in a wide range of vessel types.
In the typical materials that we encounter every day-and even in state-of-the-art chips in computers-electrons move around in three dimensions (3D). However, scientists can force electrons to move around in two dimensions (2D) by creating ultra-thin materials like graphene.
For decades, scientists have been probing the potential of two-dimensional materials to transform our world. 2D materials are only a single layer of atoms thick. Within them, subatomic particles like electrons can only move in two dimensions.
