Charges Cascading Along a Molecular Chain
Removing one charged molecule from a one-dimensional array causes the others to alternately turn ‘on’ or ‘off,’ paving the way for information transfer in tiny circuits. Continue reading
A Tune for Lowering Lattice Friction
Placing an acoustic source on a sample could eliminate the energy dissipation caused by atomic defects moving through the solid. Continue reading
Toward an Ultrahigh Energy Density Capacitor
By introducing defects to a common material, Berkeley Lab researchers create a highly efficient capacitor with dramatically increased energy density. Continue reading
Coldest Electrons Ever from Photocathodes
Researchers have generated the coldest electrons to date from solid-state photocathodes, an achievement that could improve electron sources for particle accelerators and ultrafast electron microscopy applications. Continue reading
Building Novel Carbon Allotropes
Calculations indicate that a form of carbon synthesized from pentagonal hydrocarbon molecules could have unusual electrical and mechanical properties. Continue reading
Unjammed Emulsions Collapse to Liquids
An emulsion’s rigidity disappears when the droplets’ random thermal motion overcomes the confining pressure that binds them. Continue reading
