Ever since Curie conjectured on 'the symmetry in physical phenomena, symmetry of an electric field and a magnetic field,' it has long been a dream for material scientists to search for this rather ...

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) vibrating at their resonance modes and made from atomic layer crystalline materials have attracted increasing research interest owing to their promises for ...

Researchers in Europe have found a way to make silicon-germanium (SiGe) alloys emit light efficiently, a breakthrough that has the potential to revolutionize integrated silicon photonics. In that ...

The HS-I, CS-I, and CS-II structures of hydrate correspond to the Z, A15, and C15 phases of the Frank-Kasper phase, respectively. With the discovery of HS-I, the primitive structures at the three ...

Physicists have successfully created a lab-grown diamond with a hardness exceeding that of natural diamonds. By subjecting ...
