Glass-based UV absorbers act as ‘Biological Shields’

22-Jan-2016 - If you’ve ever experienced a bad sunburn, you know the damage that ultraviolet (UV) light can cause to living cells (like your skin). Out in space, where the level of radiation from the sun can be even higher, it can damage sensitive electronics aboard in-flight spacecraft. The dangers of UV ...

Weyl points: Wanted for 86 years

21-Jul-2015 - Weyl points, the 3D analogues of the structures that make graphene exceptional, were theoretically predicted in 1929. Today, an international team of Physicists from MIT and Zhejiang University, found them in photonic crystals, opening a new dimension in photonics.In 1928 the English physicist ...

Under pressure, atoms make unlikely alloys

13-Mar-2009 - Ever since the Bronze Age, humans have experimented with combining different metals to create alloys with properties superior to either metal alone. But not all metals readily form alloys - for some pairs of elements the atoms are too dissimilar. Now researchers in an international team have ...
