During the last four decades, a remarkable research effort has been made to understand the physical properties of Si:Er material, as it is considered to be a promising approach towards improving the ...

A new silicon material switches from insulator to metal in picoseconds. This breakthrough could speed up future computers.

A new method of changing electronic states on demand could make electronics 1,000 times faster and more efficient, ...

In nuclear physics, "magic numbers" identify specific numbers of protons or neutrons that lead to especially stable nuclei.

Ceramic products can be broadly identified into traditional (e.g., bricks, ceramic tiles, porcelain) and sophisticated (e.g., ...

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, have uncovered how to manipulate electrical flow through crystalline ...

Single sheet tester (SST) is a traditional method for measuring magnetic properties of silicon steel. In order to make the measurement more accurate, this paper presents an improved SST with double ...
