Molecular clock could greatly improve smartphone navigation
MIT researchers have developed the first molecular clock on a chip, which uses the constant, measurable rotation of molecules — when exposed to a...
Quantum dot white LEDs achieve record efficiency
Researchers have demonstrated nanomaterial-based white-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that exhibit a record luminous efficiency of 105 lumens per watt. Luminous efficiency is a measure of...
MARY CORSE: A Survey in Light
At the entrance to Mary Corse: A Survey in Light at the Whitney Museum of American Art, a monitor plays White Light (1968), a film showing a young...
A record-breaking hydrogen-rich superconductor
A new hydrogen-rich compound may be a record-breaking superconductor
The material appears to transmit electricity without resistance at a relatively high temperature
Superconductors are heating up,...
3D Printing Is the Future of Factories (for Real This Time)
FACTORIES, THE CHIEF innovation of the industrial revolution, are cathedrals of productivity, built to shelter specialized processes and enforce the division of labor.
Adam Smith,...
Inkjet printing of optoelectronics and photonics
Black phosphorus is a two-dimensional material of great interest, in part because of its high carrier mobility and thickness dependent direct bandgap. However, its...
Magnetic effect in superconducting spintronics
The emerging field of spintronics leverages electron spin and magnetization. This could enhance the storage capacity of computer hard drives and potentially play an...
