For the first time since X-rays were discovered, researchers have successfully performed X-ray spectroscopy to identify the element of a single atom at a time. The achievement takes advantage of improvements to synchrotron X-ray light sources.
New study reveals how an unexpected genetic mechanism influences the evolution of butterfly wing coloration.
A recent study finds that hope appears to be more beneficial than mindfulness at helping people manage stress and stay professionally engaged during periods of prolonged stress at work. The study underscores the importance of looking ahead, rather than living “in the moment,” during hard times.
An electro-optic duplex memristor on a GaN/AlScN hetero-structure based Schottky diode has been realized. This two-terminal memristor shows good electrical and opto-electrical nonvolatility and reconfigurability.
Surprising details about mosquito mating could lead to improved malaria control techniques and help develop precision drone flight. A paper published Aug. 30 in Current Biology revealed that when a male Anopheles coluzzii mosquito hears the sound of female-specific wingbeats, his eyes “activate” and he visually scans the immediate vicinity for a potential mate.
Broadband electroluminescence based on environment-friendly emitters is promising for healthy lighting yet remains an unprecedented challenge to progress.
Realizing the multiplexed manipulation of orbital angular momentum (OAM) and other degree of freedoms (DoFs) of photons in subwavelength scale is a highly desired goal in fields of photonics, integrated optics, and optical engineering.
Superconducting memlogic sensors merge in-cell logic and memory, advancing machine vision beyond traditional computing. These sensors utilize the quantum-sensitive and broad-spectrum capabilities of superconductors. We introduce a long-wave infrared sensor using superconductor-normal phase bistability, enabling deterministic, persistent switching.
Mid-infrared (MIR) temporal ghost imaging allows for reconstructing fast temporal objects using a commercially available MIR slow photodetector. To toward this goal, Scientists in China conceived a frequency downconversion temporal ghost imaging scheme that enables us to realize computational temporal ghost imaging in the mid-infrared.
