Laser pulses capture unexplored polaronic states

In an international experiment, researchers observed Jahn–Teller polarons—quasiparticles that could play an important role in future ultrafast spintronic devices. These polarons emerged within the crystal lattice of cobalt oxide that had been activated by carefully tailored laser

Inorganic nanoscale device behaves like a single neuron, opening doors for AI and retinal

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes information. The neuron-like behavior emerges from the materials themselves, reducing the energy demand associated with similar devices that rely on circuits or s

Microscale hydrogel fibers could enable imaging inside tiny tissue structures

Researchers have developed light-transmitting hydrogel fibers that are just hundreds of micrometers in diameter. With further development, these soft fibers could one day make it possible to use imaging techniques to detect early breast cancer hidden inside very small breast duct

After parenthood, same-sex parents diverge from different-sex norms—and from each other, r

Research by Penn sociologist Pilar Gonalons-Pons and others has shown that after a man and a woman have a child, the couple's relative share of paid and unpaid labor tends to change dramatically, with the father specializing in paid work and the mother in child care.

Nanoparticle exsolution opens a new route to functional oxide electronics and spintronics

A research team has developed a new strategy to simultaneously control the electronic and magnetic properties of oxide thin films through a process known as exsolution. The team was led by Professor Hyeon Han and Professor Donghwa Lee from the Department of Materials Science and

Earth may have been seeding Venus with life for billions of years

A new study suggests Earth may have been sending tiny hitchhikers to Venus for billions of years. Researchers found that asteroid impacts could launch microbes into space, where some might survive the journey and end up suspended in Venus' clouds. If future missions detect life t
