Physicist Joel Therrien of the University of Massachusetts in Lowell introduced a new form of carbon called “U-carbon” at the International Symposium on Clusters and Nanomaterials in Virginia, USA. This material should be characterized by a high hardness (greater than stainless steel) and conductivity and reflectivity comparable to those of a polished aluminum mirror. Perhaps…
Semiconductors are materials that, from the point of view of electrical conductivity, are between electrically conductive and non-conductive materials. Scientists’ interest in semiconductors increased considerably after the first transistor was created in 1957. “Today, it is clear to everyone that without semiconductors and complex integrated circuits prepared from them, there would be no modern…
Carbon is the most widespread element in nature and is part of thousands of chemical compounds. Depending on the type of chemical bond, pure carbon is present in several modifications – such as diamond, graphite, fullerene or graphene. Graphite is the most common form of carbon. The carbon atoms bind to each other into hexagons,…
The cosmologist James Peebles split the prize with two astronomers, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, for work the Nobel judges said: “transformed our ideas about the cosmos.” This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics went to an astrophysicist who came up with sweeping ideas to explain how matter in the young universe swirled into galaxies, and…

What if, instead of a black and white X-ray picture, a doctor of a cancer patient had access to colour images identifying the tissues being scanned? This colour X-ray imaging technique could produce clearer and more accurate pictures and help doctors give their patients more accurate diagnoses.

The goal of the workshop was to start an intensive scientific collaboration between Slovakia and France in various topics. Slovak Academy of Sciences and The French National Center for Scientific Research (Centre national de la recherche scientifique, CNRS) have participated as two sides in this meeting. Besides others, members of magnetic group from the Physics…
Nanoscience and nanotechnology are interdisciplinary fields that bring together physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers to meet the potential future challenges that humankind will face, including the search for renewable energies for sustainable development and new technologies for carbon capture and environmental protection. Among the current subjects in nanoscience and nanotechnology, nanomaterials are developing fast…
A new type of quantum spin liquid has been unveiled by an international team of physicists and chemists. The technique for making the material was developed by Maarit Karppinen and colleagues at Aalto University in Finland, the Brazilian Center for Research in Physics (CBPF), Germany’s Technical University of Braunschweig and Nagoya University in Japan. It could lead…
