Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain calculations exponentially faster than a classic computer could, but more research is desperately needed to make their practical use a reality.

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or ...

A layered form of graphene shows a rare semimetal state with balanced electrons and holes that becomes a topological ...

THE surface of the red blood cell has been studied extensively by means of the electron microscope. This requires replica techniques or the preparation of haemoglobin-free “ghosts”; the interpretation ...

Over the past few years, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been revolutionized, not only by the introduction of new hardware such as field-emission electron guns, aberration correctors and ...
