An important obstacle to realizing spintronics is the amplification of small spin signals. In conventional electronics, amplification of an

Inside an individual carbon nanotube, electrons, phonons and excitons can travel in only one dimension. This property enables the tube to have

Self-assembly is a powerful concept for making nanoscale structures where molecules are designed to spontaneously pack themselves into the desired

The next generation of microelectronics will only be realized by finding ways to continue to reduce the size of a transistor. Since the

One of the leading methods for creating qubits involves exploiting specific structural atomic defects in diamonds. Using diamonds is both

Typically, exposure of a material to energetic particles, such as ions or neutrons, creates many defects that result in damage to the structure.

In the world of semiconductors, impurities and defects can be a good thing. They modify the properties of materials such as silicon, and scientists

Using a focused laser beam, researchers demonstrated for the first time that single crystals could be written into a solid glass matrix as dots,

Scientists grew a vertically aligned nanocomposites lattice matched on a SrTiO3 (STO) substrate using laser deposition. These micrometer-thick

Current magnetic storage and recording devices, such as computer hard disks, contain nanomagnets with two polarities, each of which is used to
