Researchers have for the first time measured the true properties of individual MXene flakes—an exciting new nanomaterial with ...

Scientists have found a way to make atoms dance with light, quite literally. In certain crystals, vibrations called phonons ...

Ultrathin structures that can bend, focus, or filter light, metasurfaces are reshaping how scientists think about optics.

Researchers have made a discovery that changes what we know about light and materials. They found that engineered achiral (symmetric) materials, called achiral plasmonic metasurfaces, can absorb light ...

Photocurable 3D printing, widely used for everything from dental treatments to complex prototype manufacturing, is fast and ...

Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a quantum dot. Just like bumping the tower can shift the blocks and change its ...

Researchers have demonstrated a material for next generation dynamic windows, which would allow building occupants to switch their windows between three modes: transparent, or 'normal' windows; ...

A team of researchers from Rice and collaborators have found a way to make two different phonons in thin films of lead halide perovskite interact with light so strongly that they merge into entirely ...
