Read moreA breakthrough in organic spin electronics
An international team of researchers has found a way to store vast amounts of data - up to one petabyte - per square inch. Using information stored in the spin of an electron, the scientists succeeded in storing the information in an organic molecule and reading it at a temperature close to room temperature.

Read moreAn ideal material: Solving a mystery leads to the discovery of a true topological insulator
An old material gets a new name, and with it, topological insulators have another chance to shine. Samarium hexaboride (SmB6) has been around since the late 1960s - but understanding its low temperature behavior has remained a mystery until recently. Experimentalists have recently confirmed that this material is the first true 3D topological insulator.
