A new type of material for next-generation solar cells eliminates the need to use lead, which has been a major roadblock for this technology.

With the demonstration of a sub-picosecond thin-disk laser oscillator delivering a record-high 350-W average output power, physicists set a new benchmark and pave the path towards even more powerful...

Physicists are working to produce engineered magnetic nanostructures and to tailor material properties at the nanoscale. The scientists use a special microscope to achieve this goal. This...

A new technique for continuously monitoring both the size and optical properties of individual airborne particles could offer a better way to monitor air pollution.

Physicists demonstrate simultaneous control over transport and spin properties of cold atoms, and thus establish a framework for exploring concepts in spintronics and solid-state physics.
