Scientific American: Imagine you are a young Bar-tailed Godwit, a large, leggy shorebird with a long, probing bill hatched on the tundra of Alaska. As the days become shorter and the icy winter looms, you feel the urge to embark on…
Materials Today: Physicists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered an exotic ‘multiferroic’ state in a material that is as thin as a single layer of atoms. Their observation is the first to confirm that multiferroic properties can exist in…
Chemistry World: A new step towards quantum control of chemistry has been achieved by researchers in the US, who found that tuning the magnetic field applied to colliding ultracold molecules…
Medgadget: A team of engineers and radiologists at Boston University created a helmet that can dramatically improve MRI scans of the brain. The device consists of a series of magnetic metamaterial resonators that significantly boost MRI performance. This results in crisper images that can be obtained at twice the…
