Researchers designed and synthesized an organic molecule whose electronic structure helps funnel energy into fluorescent emission.

Materials in which heat flows perpendicular to an electric current could lead to better devices for cooling electronics.

A new technique for powering medical implants wirelessly could allow them to shrink to sub-millimeter sizes in the future, according to theory and simulations.

Researchers propose a way to transfer quantum information between ions and electronic circuits, opening up new options for quantum computation.

Improvements in a new device suggest that electron spins could be harnessed to make a better clock for silicon chips.

A quantum mechanical effect seems to explain amplification in a component that might replace transistors in nanoscale circuits.

A proposed ‘thermal rectifier’ would conduct heat preferentially in one direction.

A single-atom bridge proves that the irreducible unit of current between two superconductors can be many times the charge of the electron.

A new theory will help researchers understand and harness a new low-cost technique for getting electrons to leave a surface. An improved flat panel display may be the result.

By ‘writing’ and ‘erasing’ molecule-sized bits of a thin organic film, physicists have demonstrated its potential to become the next high-density storage medium.
