A missing flash of light revealed a molecular secret
Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once thought impossible for fluids. When they mixed nearly identical chemicals, one combination behaved strangely—producing less light and erasing a...
Near-lossless 2D semiconductor phase modulators using hybrid tungsten oxyselenide/graphene electrodes
Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, University of Chicago, University of Wisconsin, Chungnam National University, National Institute for Materials Science, MIT and Singapore University of technology and design have developed hybrid tungsten...
Beyond silicon: These shape-shifting molecules could be the future of AI hardware
Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the same structure. The breakthrough comes from precise chemical design that lets electrons and ions reorganize dynamically. Unlike...
Fender Audio to introduce graphene-enhanced headphones at CES
Fender Audio, the consumer electronics division of the instrument manufacturer, will present two flagship audio products at CES 2026. Developed under a licensing agreement with Singapore-based RiffSound, the new lineup reflects Fender’s entry into advanced material...
Ultrasensitive X-ray detection enabled by graphene/perovskite heterostructures
Researchers from Dongguan University of Technology have developed a high-performance X-ray detector based on a graphene/perovskite heterostructure, addressing the limitations of traditional perovskite detectors that suffer from charge recombination in thick and...
New graphene physical reservoir computing device dramatically reduces machine learning computational loads
As power consumption by machine learning technologies rises, demand grows for AI devices with low power consumption and high computational performance. "Physical reservoirs" are AI devices that perform efficient brain-inspired information processing called...
This hidden flaw has been breaking EV batteries
A major breakthrough in battery science reveals why promising single-crystal lithium-ion batteries haven’t lived up to expectations. Researchers found that these batteries crack due to uneven internal reactions, not the grain-boundary damage seen in older designs....
