Read MoreMagnonics, an alternative to conventional electronics
Magnonics, an emerging field of magnetism, could provide an alternative method of data manipulation to silicon electronics. Researchers from universities in Russia, the Netherlands, and Germany developed a superconducting/ferromagnetic material for magnonic applications.
Read MoreUltrathin glass goes ultrawide
Glass panels with large dimensions can be fabricated using the float glass process—but can the process also fabricate ultrathin glass? Scientists at the State Key Laboratory for Float Glass in China report it can—while still retaining large dimensions.
Read MoreTwo theories, one goal—new formula also describes heat flow in both crystals and glass
In May, a formula was published that could describe thermal transport in both crystals and glass. Now, a new formula by researchers in Italy and the United States based on a different mathematical framework can also model such thermal transport.
