Sound waves precisely position nanowires

The smaller components become, the more difficult it is to create patterns in an economical and reproducible way, according to an interdisciplinary team of Penn State researchers who, using sound waves, can place nanowires in repeatable patterns for potential use in a variety of sensors, optoelectronics and nanoscale circuits.

Penetrating the quantum nature of magnetism

Scientists using inelastic neutron scattering at the ILL have for the very first time given a complete description of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet as realized in nature in copper sulphate.
