While analyzing the infrared photoinduced force response of quartz, Dr. Jian Li observed a unique spectral response that is ...

Semiconductors are a cornerstone of next-generation technology, so a new method to excite atoms in semiconductor materials is ...

In graphene, phonon propagation is linked to the creation of electron–hole couples. But a hole is simply the electron antiparticle (Fig. 1b), which makes the analogy with QED almost perfect.

Phonon scattering in polar semiconductors may occur from either acoustic or optical phonons. Polar acoustic phonon, or piezoelectric, scattering can be important at very low temperatures in very pure ...

Quantum sensors made from superconducting qubits might be able to detect this mysterious substance, say physicists ...

A technology firm based in Durham says it is laying off more than 50 workers, with the jobs being moved overseas.

Packed with numerous examples, illustrations, and homework problems with answers, this is a graduate book that describes atomic-level kinetics of thermal energy storage, transport, and transformation ...

Did you know that 99% of synthetic diamonds are currently produced using high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) methods? A ...

In a paper published in Science Bulletin, a Chinese team of scientists predicts a novel electride K(NH3)2, with interstitial ...

A lead-vacancy (PbV) center in diamond has been developed as a quantum emitter for large-scale quantum networks by researchers. This innovative color center exhibits a sharp zero-phonon-line and emits ...

A technology firm based in Durham says it is laying off more than 50 workers, with the jobs being moved overseas. Durham technology firm Phononic has notified the state of its plan to lay off 54 ...
