Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

The ability to change the polarity of current transport via electronic surface doping will now be strikingly demonstrated by inducing NDR in the Ge NW device. For common n-doped Ge, NDR can be ...

A method for construction of non-binary polar (sub)codes with shaping is proposed. It is based on the Honda-Yamamoto scheme and does not require multilevel (ML) coding framework. Polar codes with ...

Researchers have detected a striking novel behaviour in a class of magnetic material known as altermagnets that could one day revolutionize how we design electronic devices.

Specifically, by comparing the proposed concatenation of the 24-CRC with an inner CRC-aided polar code and the combined 24-CRC with the LDPC coded system currently used in GNSS Subframe 3, we observe ...

Importantly, the use of polarity-sensitive single-molecule imaging offers a functional readout of the nanoscale membrane environment relevant to biological interaction. Finally, we developed ...
