The microscope tip acts as a protective shield that dampens the disruptive fields from areas of the sample that are further away. "The influence of the shielded electric fields thus decreases ...

The tweezers’ action occurs on a common glass microscope slide embedded with five electrodes. These electrodes create an electric field that can be used to push, pull, move and spin a selected object ...

Recently, Professor Jiang Ying from International Center for Quantum Materials and Research Center for Light-Element Advanced Materials of Peking University, in collaboration with Professor Jörg ...

At any given moment, there are approximately a zillion crowdfunding campaigns on the web. Take a stroll through Kickstarter or Indiegogo, and you’ll find no shortage of weird, useless, and downright ...

Advanced materials with finely tuned electric and magnetic properties are the goal of all materials scientists. More energy efficient electronic devices, better performing hybrid electric vehicles, ...

Quantum materials just got a major jolt. Dutch researchers have shown, for the first time, that ultra-narrow strips of germanene, the lesser-known cousin of grapheme, have their quantum states ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers from Jülich in cooperation with the University of Magdeburg has developed a new method to measure the electric potentials of a sample at atomic accuracy. Using ...
