Recent work could lead to development of supersensitive and energy-efficient sensors, detectors, and logical switches for science and communication, memory storage, and other emergent technologies

Oxide electronics materials are poised to expand the way we think about the functions of traditional silicon-based electronic devices such as cell phones or computers

New research shows how well scientists can predict the properties and functionality of materials, allowing us to explore their potential to be used in novel ways

Berkeley Lab study uses terahertz laser pulses to reveal ultrafast coupling of atomic-scale patterns

A precise new way to study materials shows this ‘electron-phonon coupling’ can be far stronger than predicted, and could potentially play a role in unconventional superconductivity

Until now, all previous experiments have indicated that lithium’s atoms had a complex arrangement

Propagating “charge density wave” fluctuations are seen in superconducting copper oxides for the first time

Aalto University researchers have broken the world record by fourteen fold in the energy resolution of thermal photodetection

The prediction was that "Cooper pairs" of electrons in a superconductor could exist in two possible states

Using relatively low-energy X-rays, the IEX beamline at the APS will help illuminate electronic ordering and emergent phenomena in ordered materials
