2+ hour, 21+ min ago   (406+ words) Kohima: Researchers from Nagaland University and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have proposed a new two-dimensional lattice structure that could allow quantum states to be controlled using magnetic fields, opening up potential applications in quantum sensors, programmable quantum…...

5+ hour, 37+ min ago   (1606+ words) In addition, alternative approaches based on selective ion implantation have also been explored40, enabling the fabrication of functional Si NW devices41 with feature sizes down to 25 nm42. However, these approaches are fundamentally limited by the implantation depth and can introduce amorphization and defects…...

7+ hour, 1+ min ago   (305+ words) Later, reports emerged that vibrating atoms in a circular motion in certain materials can generate a magnetic field, suggesting that atomic vibrations themselves could be a cause of magnetism. The research team designed an experiment to test whether interlayer vibrations…...

1+ hour, 19+ min ago   (513+ words) Researchers have built an antifouling polypyrrole membrane with a tannic acid-anchored titania nanosheet and graphitic carbon nitride interlayer that dramatically boosts water flux and oil rejection in aerobically treated oily wastewater....

7+ hour, 20+ min ago   (265+ words) A new method has been developed to synthesize the novel material 'metal-organic framework (MOF)', which can absorb components such as carbon dioxide and water vapor from the air without any external energy supply. By improving the conventional synthesis process that…...

5+ hour, 44+ min ago   (204+ words) Figure: The process of vapor sublimation and deposition fabrication of the functional aerogels. A variety of geometric shapes can be produced according to the application needs. Researchers at National Taiwan University (NTU), a collaboration from the College of Engineering, College…...

10+ hour, 37+ min ago   (395+ words) Published 12 Oct.2026 07:59(KST) The principle and experimental results of inducing transient magnetism by shining light on a bilayer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) semiconductor. The left shows a schematic of the magnetism-induction concept; the upper right shows atomic vibrations; and the lower right…...

3+ hour, 21+ min ago   (50+ words) Molecular dynamics simulations show that polycrystalline CuCrCoFeNi high-entropy alloy coatings absorb most scratch-induced deformation through stacking faults, dislocation structures, and localized amorphization, protecting the underlying copper substrate even at near-coating-thickness depths. News Source: Neil Sanderson. (October 12, 2026). Atomic-Scale Simulations Reveal How…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago   (178+ words) By the end of this section, you will be able to: Because charges ordinarily cannot escape a conductor, the magnetic force on charges moving in a conductor is transmitted to the conductor itself. Calculate the force on the wire shown…...

3+ hour, 38+ min ago   (471+ words) Italian Institute of Technology researchers have created the first organic nanotubes combining piezoelectric, photothermal and antioxidant properties in a single 500-nanometre biocompatible structure....
