Silicon's evolution from sand to semiconductor revolutionized electronics, enabling miniaturization and powering modern ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

Hydrogel micromachines recreate the push and pull of living cells, helping scientists study how mechanical forces shape tissues in the lab.

Researchers in Israel have created a microscopic optical device that could simplify high-power laser ...

(THE CONVERSATION) The waves of U.S. and Israeli bomb strikes in Tehran and Beirut, and Iran’s missile and drone attacks on neighboring countries in response, are damaging more than buildings – they ...

The death of a star is usually thought to be a violent and hostile ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling nanoscale sensing in spaces too tight for conventional optics.

A micrometer-sized liquid crystal droplet doped with fluorescent dye functions as a nanosecond optical switch that controls light output using light alone. The resonant cavity design cuts the energy ...

Plastic particles can enter tea in several different ways - and teabags may play a bigger role than many people realize.

The drugs have names that sound like small planets: semaglutide, liraglutide, lixisenatide. Collectively, they belong to a class of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogs that has reshaped the ...

Inside most photonic chips, light races through tiny optical wires. It carries information far faster than electricity can in many conventional systems.

Researchers map the peptide behind semaglutide across 25 brain regions in each sex, finding striking differences in ...
