Colliding holes shed light on electron wavefunction

Researchers have developed a method for calculating the wavefunctions of electrons in a material from physical measurements.

Mirrors help 2D material shine like a laser

Researchers have shown that placing the 2D material tungsten diselenide between 'mirrors' can cause it to emit laser-like light at room temperature.

Sticky - The Secret Science of Surfaces by Laurie Winkless

An exploration of the amazing world of surface science.

Liquid crystals stay in their blue phase

Researchers have found a way to create and stabilize so-called 'blue phase liquid crystals', which can be switched on and off incredibly quickly.

Perovskite printing with polymer produces flexible LEDs

Researchers have developed a printable, flexible LED by embedding inorganic perovskite crystals in an organic, polymer matrix.

Black phosphorus could light up future telecommunications

Researchers have shown that the 2D material black phosphorus can control the polarization of light more precisely than ever before.

Electrons have time for foursomes in iron-based superconductor

Researchers have uncovered the first evidence that electrons in a superconductor can condense into foursomes that break time-reversal symmetry.

New instrument sheds light on perovskite synthesis

Using X-ray light and laser light, a new analytical instrument can probe a perovskite’s crystal structure and optical properties as it is synthesized.
