A research group has discovered significant nonreciprocal optical absorption of LiNiPO4, referred to as the optical diode effect, in which divalent nickel (Ni2+) ions are responsible for magnetism, by ...

Think about how easily you recognize a friend in a dimly lit room. Your eyes capture light, while your brain filters out ...

Scientists have reviewed the superconducting diode effect, a quantum effect enabling dissipationless supercurrent to flow in only one direction. The SDE provides new functionalities for ...

On the outskirts of Germany's Bavarian capital Munich, in a small block within a business park, two employees share an office. Not exactly an unusual scenario, you might think, but Wilhelm Kaenders ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the ...

Tokyo — A team of University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), researchers led by Shuji Nakamura, a pioneer of laser diode science, has created a low-threshold-current, nonpolar blue-violet laser ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...

SAN FRANCISCO — A team of University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB) researchers led by Shuji Nakamura, a pioneer of laser diode science, have created a new type of blue-violet laser diode that ...
