The main drawback of natural piezoelectric materials is truncated piezoelectricity. Lead oxide is a PZT component and is highly toxic in behavior. Researchers are now investigating how to substitute the PZT materials to protect the environment. Continuous research is going on to build up different l

New materials should make information processing more efficient, for example, through ultrafast spintronic devices that store data with less energy

Modern wireless communication equipment relies on advanced radio frequency microelectromechanical devices. Wireless communication finds various applications such as mobile communication devices used in vehicles and aviation, global positioning systems (GPS), and military satellites.

Understanding how the optical and electrical properties of nanostructures are influenced by different environmental conditions can aid the development of effective technologies in a range of applications. This paper focuses on the effect of controlled conditions on GaN nanostructures.

Plasma evolved from being its own form of matter to the cores of atoms and the building blocks of life within 0.000001 seconds of the Big Bang, experts claim. About 14 billion years ago our universe went from being hot and dense, to expanding rapidly into stars, galaxies and black holes - a process known as the Big Bang.  What triggered this explosive beginning, what space was like in the earliest moments and how we got from that to what we have now has been hotly debated, extensively studied...

Researchers are looking at the very first matter to ever be present in the universe for insights into the very first microsecond of the Big Bang.
