• Ultrafast optical technique reveals how electrical double layers form in liquids

  25 avril
  Charged surfaces in contact with liquids—such as biological cell walls or battery electrodes—attract oppositely charged ions from the liquid. This creates two distinct charged regions: the surface itself and a counter-charged region in the liquid: the so-called electrical double layer. While (…)

• Magnetic confinement advance promises 100 times more fusion power at half the cost

  25 avril
  A team of fusion researchers at TAE Technologies, Inc., in the U.S., working with colleagues from the University of California, has developed a new type of fusion technology that the company claims produces 100 times the power of other designs while costing just half as much to run. Their study (…)

• Observatory develops high-efficiency muon detection system with novel plastic scintillator design

  25 avril
  Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) have developed a novel top veto tracker system for the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO) experiment.

• Hey, what are these curved green flashes above my polymer semiconductor ?

  25 avril
  In every scientific discovery in the movies, a scientist observes something unexpected, scratches the side of his or her forehead and says "hmmmmm." In just such a moment in real life, scientists from Canada observed unexpected flashes of curved green light from a red light-emitting (…)

• An earth-abundant mineral for sustainable spintronics

  25 avril
  In 2023, EPFL researchers succeeded in sending and storing data using charge-free magnetic waves called spin waves, rather than traditional electron flows. The team from the Lab of Nanoscale Magnetic Materials and Magnonics, led by Dirk Grundler, in the School of Engineering, used radiofrequency (…)
