Researchers at KAIST develop a 'pedestrian-friendly smart window' technology that reduces heating and cooling energy consumption in urban buildings while resolving light pollution issues. The RECM system operates in three modes, allowing for real-time adjustment of light and heat transmission.
A German-Italian team has discovered a way to simplify the experimental implementation of two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy, allowing for real-time study of electron motion in solids. By adding an optical component to Cerullo's interferometer, researchers were able to control laser pulses more precisely, enabling the investigatio...
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute induced chirality in a non-chiral crystal using terahertz pulses. This discovery opens up new avenues for controlling matter on an atomic level, potentially leading to unique functionalities in ultrafast memory devices and optoelectronic platforms.
Scientists create high-throughput automation to calculate surface properties of crystalline materials using established laws of physics. This accelerates the search for relevant materials for applications in energy conversion, production, and storage.
Researchers detected prompt optical emission and its transition to early afterglow of a gamma-ray burst using the Ground Wide Angle Camera Array. The study provides unique data that constrains the characteristics of the progenitor, suggesting a small stellar mass.
Scientists have successfully engineered defects in diamonds to store and transfer quantum information, a crucial step towards quantum computing. The technique uses vibrations from a mechanical resonator to stabilize optical properties, enabling the manipulation of electron orbitals.
Researchers at Berkeley Lab's Accelerator and Fusion Research Division develop a new method to measure the energy spread of electron beams in laser plasma accelerators. The experiment finds that local energy spread can be as small as half a percent, enabling more precise control over the beam.
