Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

Tiny changes at the atomic scale can determine the future of clean energy. In a new study, Tohoku University researchers have ...

The best candidate for next-generation magnetic devices—technology that can power, store, sense or transport information—may ...

Photonic crystals are periodic optical structures that can control the flow of light. Multiple reflections from surfaces separated by a distance similar to the wavelength prevent an optical beam from ...

President Harry Truman was perhaps the most influential American president with regards to the path of global nuclear history. Over the course of his presidential term (1945-1953), he oversaw the ...
