Researchers uncover how the halogen bond can be exploited to direct sequential dynamics in the multi-functional crystals, offering crucial insights for developing ultrafast-response times for multilevel optical storage.

In 2024, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan on New Years Day, causing strong shaking, landslides, fire, liquefaction, land uplift, and devastating tsunamis. Ishikawa Prefecture, the hardest hit area, saw at least 241 fatalities, and about 75,187 houses damaged. Although the Noto Peninsula has experienced frequent earthquakes and tsunamis in the past, the 2024 tsunamis were different.

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when they are cooled below a certain critical temperature. They have applications in several fields, including magnetic resonance imaging, particle accelerators, electric power, and quantum computing. However, their widespread use is limited by the need for extremely low temperatures.

Micelles assemble in water from amphiphilic molecules, composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic frameworks. They can be found all around us, for example in soaps, detergents, and shampoos. Their main application is the water-solubilization of insoluble molecules through encapsulation into hydrophobic cavities.

High-performance all-solid-state batteries could revolutionize modern portable electronic devices and electric cars

We're talking RISC-V-based AI ICs, US Chips Act money, IGZO transistors, and quantum computing technology...

Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have found a novel way to reduce source and drain contact resistance, and increase carrier mobility, in

The discovery of gravitational waves is among the greatest triumphs of contemporary science. The first detection of gravitational waves in 2017 resulted from the merger of a binary neutron star, and this discovery revealed important details about the universe, including the production of heavy elements and the source of brief gamma-ray bursts.

Iga honored for “pioneering contributions and visionary leadership” in VCSELs

Researchers at Tokyo Tech have demonstrated that ultraviolet-laser processing is a viable method for creating complex microstructures that allow for the sophisticated alignment of muscle cells—a prerequisite for creating life-like biohybrid actuators.
