阅读全文Converting charge current into spin current via the spin Hall effect enables efficient manipulation of magnetization by electrical current. However, its geometrical restriction is a serious obstacle t...
阅读全文As anyone who has ever parked a car in the sun on a hot summer day knows, glass windows are great at letting sunlight in but terrible at allowing heat out. advertisement Now, engineers at Duke Univers...
阅读全文Giant spin-orbit torque (SOT) from topological insulators (TIs) provides an energy efficient writing method for magnetic memory, which, however, is still premature for practical applications due to th...
阅读全文Layered IV-V-VI semiconductors have immense potential for thermoelectric (TE) applications due to their intrinsically ultralow lattice thermal conductivity. However, it is extremely difficult to asses...
阅读全文Quantum entanglement -- or what Albert Einstein once referred to as "spooky action at a distance" -- occurs when two quantum particles are connected to each other, even when millions of miles apart. A...
阅读全文Computational materials science experts at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory and their collaborators have identified the source of and the way to tune the strength and ductility of a cla...
阅读全文Natural rubber is a biomaterial with unique physical and chemical features that are indispensable for many industrial applications. It is widely accepted that the α-terminal groups of its biopolymer ...
阅读全文High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with unique physicochemical properties have attracted tremendous attention in many fields, yet the precise control on dimension and morphology at atomic level remains formid...
阅读全文Boron is a multipurpose non-metal element. However, in the past five years, chemists have only hypothesized about the beneficial properties and applications of two-dimensional (2D) boron-containing ma...
阅读全文Space missions, such as NASA's Orion that will take astronauts to Mars, are pushing the limits of human exploration. But during their transit, spacecrafts encounter a continuous stream of damaging cos...
