But could one of physics’s most mind-bending states of matter become a workhorse for quantum technology? For the first time, ...

Mechanical crystals, also known as phononic crystals, are materials that can control the propagation of vibrations or sound waves, just like photonic crystals control the flow of light. The ...

A fascinating nature of two-dimensional materials is that they are atomic layer thin films that can be electrically-driven into vibration and serve as nano-electro-mechanical resonators (NEMS) with ...

AzoMaterials speaks to Cassandra Phillips and Qichi Hu from Bruker about how their new Resonance-Enhanced Force Volume AFM-IR technology overcomes the limitations of conventional nanoscale ...

Graphene and carbon nanotubes could improve the electronics used in computers and mobile phones, reveals new research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
