NIMS simulated magnetization reversal in Nd-Fe-B magnets using large-scale finite element models based on electron microscopy data. These simulations revealed microstructural features affecting coercivity, guiding the development of high-performance permanent magnets Green power generation, electric transportation, and other high-tech industries rely heavily on high-performance permanent magnets, among which the Nd-Fe-B magnets are the strongest and […]
Soft, stretchy electrode simulates touch sensations using electrical signals
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft, stretchy electronic device that simulates pressure or vibration sensations when worn on the skin. This innovative device represents a step toward creating haptic technologies capable of reproducing a more varied and realistic range of touch sensations The device consists of a soft, stretchable […]
Scientists develop the next generation of highly efficient memory materials with atom-level control
Similar to the butterfly effect, tiny adjustments can yield significant outcomes. Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) achieved a breakthrough by modifying a material called ‘spin-orbit torque (SOT).’ This material is now a key focus in next-generation DRAM memory. This research team, led by Professor Daesu Lee and Yongjoo Jo, a Ph.D. […]
Recent advances in twisted bilayer graphene
Graphene, a widely studied 2D material, exhibits exceptional physical and electronic properties. Twisting two graphene monolayers at a small angle creates twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG), which forms a superlattice. The moiré pattern resulting from relative layer orientation has driven significant progress in graphene research, enhancing its optical and electrical properties, including superconductivity. The mechanical, optical, […]
Scientists develop ‘x-ray vision’ technique to see inside crystals
A team of New York University (NYU) researchers has created a new way to visualize crystals by peering inside their structures, similar to having x-ray vision. Their new technique—named Crystal Clear—combines the use of transparent particles and microscopes with lasers that allow scientists to see each unit that makes up the crystal and to create dynamic three-dimensional models.
