Researchers at the University of Illinois have pulled off a laser first: they built a new kind of eye-safe laser that works ...

In a first for the field, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported a ...

Scientists have found that water ice in space isn't completely disordered as once believed. New research shows that up to 25% of so-called amorphous ice actually contains tiny crystals, changing how ...

Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new method for creating quantum states by twisting materials at the M-point, revealing exotic phenomena previously out of reach. This new direction ...

The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

Until recently, most studies on subgap states focused on amorphous IGZO, as sufficiently large single-crystal IGZO (sc-IGZO) ...

The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

Many displays found in smartphones and televisions rely on thin-film transistors (TFTs) made from indium gallium zinc oxide ...

Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still ...

This contribution addresses the role of water molecules in crystal engineering by studying the crystal structures and thermal stabilities of 11 new cocrystal hydrates, all of which were characterized ...

A nonlinear structure and parameter identification method is proposed to get the nonlinear dynamic model of Czochralski silicon crystal growth between pulling speed and diameter. The mean impact value ...

This paper presents the design of a compact multimode interferometer using 2D photonic crystals. The proposed device is realized on a silicon nitride platform for fabrication flexibility and its ...
