Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies.

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Simulations and satellite data reveal that Earth's magnetic field is more complex than scientists had thought. Scientists ...

A particle accelerator that produces intense X-rays could be squeezed into a device that fits on a table, my colleagues and I ...

Using chemical processes, scientists have manipulated the phase boundaries of lead-based ferroelectric materials to create higher performance and smaller devices.

Controlling magnetic states in materials typically requires continuous power or only works in rare, specialized systems. Researchers developed a general theory showing how electric fields can ...

Ionic defects are present in every frost sheet. Jonathan Boreyko’s team at Virginia Tech has used a high-voltage technique to ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I ...

In the home, the lab and the factory, electric fields control technologies such as Kindle displays, medical diagnostic tests ...

A more efficient way to defrost cars - using electricity to "zap" ice without heat or chemicals - is being developed. Frost ...

Every sheet of frost contains ionic defects. In a new paper published in Small Methods, Jonathan Boreyko’s team uses high ...
