 | In research that is helping to lay the groundwork for the electronics of the future, University of Delaware scientists have confirmed the presence of a magnetic field generated by electrons which scientists had theorized existed, but that had never been proven until now. ...> Full Article |
 | By means of special metamaterials, light and sound can be passed around objects. KIT researchers now succeeded in demonstrating that the same materials can also be used to specifically influence the propagation of heat. A structured plate of copper and silicon conducts heat around a central area without the edge being affected. The results are presented in the Physical Review Letters journal. ...> Full Article |
 | Professor Seok-Hyung Bae from the Department of Industrial Design at KAIST, together with SM Instruments, Inc., a venture company established by a KAIST graduate Young-Key Kim, developed a handheld sound camera, which is the first of its kind in the world, to easily detect noises arising from such sources as heavy machinery, home appliances, vehicles, and vessels. The sound camera, SeeSV-S205, is light enough to hold in one hand and weighs only 1.78kg with 39 cm width and 38 cm height. ...> Full Article |
 | By extending the coherence time of electron states to over half a second, a team of scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the University of California at Berkeley, and Harvard University has improved the performance of one of the most potent sensors of magnetic fields on the nanoscale -- a diamond defect no bigger than a pair of atoms called a nitrogen vacancy center. The achievement is important news for nanoscale sensors and quantum computing. ...> Full Article |
 | Using a powerful combination of microanalytic techniques that simultaneously image photoelectric current and chemical reaction rates across a surface on a micrometer scale, NIST researchers have shed new light on what may become a cost-effective way to generate hydrogen gas directly from water and sunlight. ...> Full Article |
Physicists at ETH Zurich have demonstrated one of the quintessential effects of quantum optics -- known as the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect -- with microwaves, whose frequency is 100'000 times lower than that of visible light. The experiment takes quantum optics into a new frequency regime and could eventually lead to new technological applications.

 | Three-dimensional magnetic vortices were discovered by scientists from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf together with colleagues from the Paul Scherrer Institute within the scope of an international cooperation. The results were published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters (DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.177201). Vortex states are potential antennas for the ultrafast, wireless data transmission of tomorrow. ...> Full Article |
 | A team led by Professor Keon Jae Lee from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at KAIST has developed in vivo silicon-based flexible large scale integrated circuits for bio-medical wireless communication. ...> Full Article |
Just as people have embraced computers and smart phones, they may also give their blessing to talking tissue boxes and other smart objects, according to Penn State researchers.

 | In a joint project between the Universities of Strathclyde and Glasgow, Imperial College London and the National Physical Laboratory, researchers have developed a portable way to produce ultracold atoms for quantum technology and quantum information processing. ...> Full Article |
Professor Weimin Chen and his colleagues at Linköping University, in cooperation with German and American researchers, have succeeded in both initializing and reading nuclear spins, relevant to qubits for quantum computers, at room temperature. The results have just been published in the renowned journal Nature Communications.

 | Rice University scientists find liquid crystalline silicone stiffens significantly when compressed repeatedly for hours on end. The discovery may lead to new strategies for self-healing materials or biocompatible materials that mimic human tissues. ...> Full Article |
 | As markets for miniature, hybrid machines known as MEMS grow and diversify, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has introduced a long-awaited measurement tool that will help growing numbers of device designers, manufacturers and customers to see eye to eye on eight dimensional and material property measurements that are key to device performance. ...> Full Article |
 | Researchers at Queen's University's Human Media Lab have developed a new smartphone -- called MorePhone -- which can morph its shape to give users a silent yet visual cue of an incoming phone call, text message or email. ...> Full Article |
