Armored with plastic ‘hair’ and silica, new perovskite nanocrystals show more durability
Perovskite nanocrystals hold promise for improving a wide variety of optoelectronic devices—from lasers to light emitting diodes (LEDs) - but problems with their durability...
Electro-optical device provides solution to faster computing memories and processors
The first ever integrated nanoscale device which can be programmed with either photons or electrons has been developed by scientists in Harish Bhaskaran's Advanced...
The plot thickens for a hypothetical X17 particle
Fresh evidence of an unknown particle that could carry a fifth force of nature gives the NA64 collaboration at CERN a new incentive to...
Indian authorities may have exaggerated claims of rising tiger numbers
The Indian government claims that the national tiger population has more than doubled since 2006, but independent scientists have found this highly unlikely. It...
Production of recyclable plastic a step closer
A recently discovered group of recyclable plastics seems to be a promising alternative to the hard plastic that is difficult to recycle. However, we...
Superconductivity theory under attack
Measurements on a superconducting material show an abrupt transition between a normal metal and a "strange" metal. The really strange thing, however, is that...
Quantum dot lasers move a step closer with electric-pumping development
Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a way to make Colloidal Quantum Dots produce laser light with the help of...
Steve over the picket fence
Strange ribbons of purple light that appeared in the sky—known as Steve—became the subject of debate in 2017, as their origins were unbeknown to...
