Electronic devices rely on materials whose electrical properties change with temperature, making them less stable in extreme conditions. A discovery that challenges conventional wisdom in physics ...

One hypothesis is that the atomic structure of bismuth constrains electron movement in a way that mimics the behaviour of topological materials, recently discovered exotic substances whose ...

Ultrathin bismuthene islands on graphite slide freely in one direction and pause unpredictably, revealing new ways to control ...

Atomic and molecular interactions with photons ... This interaction is determined largely by the electronic structure of atoms and molecules; photon absorption or emission is associated with ...

In these semiconductors, that polarity can flip under an electric field—and stay that way even after the field is gone.

Ferroelectrics are a class of materials that exhibit so-called spontaneous electric polarization, which is the separation of ...

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics at the University of Lodz have published an article on ...

X-ray imaging is indispensable in medical diagnostics and material characterization. To generate an image, a detector converts X-rays that pass through the object into electrical signals. Higher ...

Amazon's new pay model rewards top performers, cuts first-time achievers The revised structure places greater emphasis on an employee's rating history rather than just current performance.

The EU’s atomic allies are claiming that having more nuclear energy coursing through the grid can help ensure a stable power supply to back up renewable sources like wind and solar. “If you want a lot ...
