A new way to switch transistors could overcome the power consumption and undesirable current leakage problems encountered in conventional nanoscale field-effect devices. The new technique, which works ...

A new atomically-thick strain sensor is 100 times more sensitive than commercial devices and 10 times more sensitive than alternative versions based on graphene. According to its developers at China’s ...

Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an innovative ...

Addressing a physics problem that dates back to Galileo, three researchers this week propose a new approach to the theory of how thin sheets can be forced to conform to 'geometrically incompatible' ...
