A Plasmon’s Life in Atomic Wires
Are plasmons hosted in atomically thin metallic wires a possible solution for future waveguides?
Pushing forward 2D/3D contacts simulations
A new approach enables fully ab initio simulations of the contacts between 3D and 2D materials.
Meta-skin takes us one step closer to cloaking
Using rows of small liquid-metal resonators, this new metamaterial can cloak objects from radar detection.
Molecular functionalization of surfaces for device applications
Surface molecular functionalization combines many challenges: from characterizing, understanding and utilizing the surface properties and microscopic chemical entities, to judicious adsorption schemes enabling controlled tailoring of surface and interfacial properties.
Image of the week: cathode bubbles
In this recent JPhysD Letter, researchers at Nanjing University have experimentally observed H2-filled bubbles in resistive switching cells.
