Phonons can display both wave-like and particle-like behaviour during thermal transport. While thermal transport in silicon nanomeshes has been previously interpreted by phonon wave effects due to ...

Engineers have found a way to redirect misfit light waves to reduce energy loss during optical data transmission. In a study, researchers exploited an interaction between light and sound waves to ...

Researchers raise fundamental questions about the proposed value of topological protection against backscattering in integrated photonics. The field of integrated photonics has taken off in recent ...

The construction of compact semiconductors with reduced thickness and size is desirable for their application in microelectronic devices and transistors. However, measuring the parameters such as ...

Intensive new nano-analysis of the Winchcombe meteorite has revealed how it was affected by water and repeatedly smashed apart and reassembled on the journey it took through space before landing in an ...

Saturn's rings exhibit a temporary increase in brightness around the time of opposition (May 10th, 18h UT), a phenomenon known as the Seeliger effect. The Seeliger effect is attributed to two main ...
