A systematic study of phase changes in vanadium dioxide has solved a mystery that has puzzled scientists for decades. A systematic study of phase changes in vanadium dioxide has solved a mystery that ...

In an apparent contradiction to textbook physics, a metal has been identified that conducts electricity but produces almost no heat in the process. Such a strange property may be expected to occur in ...

If a so-called "rise of the machines" ever comes to fruition, our chances of survival may have just taken a big hit. A team of scientists from the US Department of Energy ’s Lawrence Berkeley National ...

For the first time, researchers have gotten a detailed view of how atoms in a compound called vanadium dioxide move when an ultrafast laser pulse transforms the material from an electrical insulator ...

While the large windows and glass that often surround modern buildings allow for the immense amount of lighting that enters these areas during the day. However, the glazings that are placed as a film ...
