Terahertz semiconductor laser with record-high output power
The ability to harness light into an intense beam of monochromatic radiation in a laser has revolutionized the way we live and work for...
New materials for sustainable, low-cost batteries
A new conductor material and a new electrode material could pave the way for inexpensive batteries and therefore the large-scale storage of renewable energy.
The...
Surface treatment to reduce biomaterial implant rejection
UPM researchers have developed a new surface treatment to reduce metallic biomaterial implant rejection. This will extend the prosthesis life and thus increase the...
New materials, heated under high magnetic fields, could produce record levels of energy, model...
Imagine being able to power your car partly from the heat that its engine gives off. Or what if you could get a portion...
OLEDs become brighter and more durable
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have matured enough to allow for first commercial products in form of small and large displays. In order to compete...
World’s oldest insect inspires a new generation of aerogels
A team of international scientists have created a new form of highly-efficient, low-cost insulation based on the wings of a dragonfly.
The material, known as...
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox observed in many-particle system for the first time
Physicists from the University of Basel have observed the quantum mechanical Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox in a system of several hundred interacting atoms for the first...

Breakthrough polymer could lead to ‘infinitely’ recyclable plastics
The world fell in love with plastics because they’re cheap, convenient, lightweight and long-lasting. For these same reasons, plastics are now trashing the Earth.
Chemists...
Researchers create precision optical components with inkjet printing
Researchers have developed an inkjet printing technique that can be used to print optical components such as waveguides. Because the printing approach can also...
