Inducing and tuning spin interactions in layered material

Magnetic-spin interactions that allow spin-manipulation by electrical control allow potential applications in energy-efficient spintronic devices. Researchers describe for the first time the induction of such interactions in a layered material tantalum-sulfide by addition of iron atoms, and tuning by insertion of protons.

Let there be light! New tech allows people to see in the dark

Researchers develop ultra-thin film that allows people to see clearly in the dark and could revolutionise night vision. This first-of-its-kind thin film is ultra-compact and one day could work on standard glasses. The new prototype tech, based on nanoscale crystals, could be used for defence, as well as making it safer to drive at night and walking home after dark.
