| 'Solid' light could compute previously unsolvable problems Posted: 09 Sep 2014 10:08 AM PDT Researchers have begun crystallizing light as part of an effort to answer fundamental questions about the physics of matter. As part of an effort to develop exotic materials such as room-temperature superconductors, the researchers have locked together photons, the basic element of light, so that they become fixed in place. |
| Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:38 AM PDT Scientists have married two unconventional forms of carbon -- one shaped like a soccer ball, the other a tiny diamond -- to make a molecule that conducts electricity in only one direction. This tiny electronic component, known as a rectifier, could play a key role in shrinking chip components down to the size of molecules to enable faster, more powerful devices. |
| Phosphorus a promising semiconductor: Physicists find 2-D form pays no heed to defects Posted: 09 Sep 2014 06:36 AM PDT The two-dimensional form of phosphorus may be a useful, flaw-resistant semiconductor for electronics. Theory shows the material's electronic properties are not affected by point defects or grain boundaries. |
