Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...

Researchers developed a nonlinear nonlocal metasurface that converts infrared light to visible and steers it by combining ...

Light can tell you a lot about what matter is doing. Visible light shows a surface. X-rays reveal hidden structure. Infrared ...

Coherent laser ranging systems confront a fundamental trade-off: higher resolution typically comes with increased system complexity and cost. Researchers from Tsinghua University have demonstrated a ...

The way time ticks forward in our universe has long stumped physicists. Now, a new set of tools from entangled atoms to black ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

Tania Roy studies novel semiconductor materials and devices to advance energy-efficient computing and edge AI.

Long-wave infrared (LWIR) microbolometers are essential for thermal imaging in harsh environments, yet their performance typically degrades at ...

A bullet-speed experiment reveals that the Earth's inner core may be softer and more dynamic than previously thought.

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

The Einstein-de Haas effect has been observed in a quantum fluid, showing that changes in magnetization transfer angular ...

Quantum computing is nearing the point of practical use, but scientists still need to make some specific breakthroughs.
