A four-stroke engine for atoms

Switching something on and off again usually takes it back into its original state. A new magnetic material, however, has to be switched four times, while the spin of atoms moves once in a circle.

New photocatalytic membrane that can be cleaned using light energy

Researchers successfully developed a nanosheet-laminated photocatalytic membrane that demonstrates both excellent water permeance and photocatalytic activity. The membrane's photocatalytic properties make it easier to clean as irradiating the membrane with light successfully reduces fouling.

High harmonics illuminate the movement of atoms and electrons

Laser light can radically change the properties of solid materials, making them superconducting or magnetic within millionths of a billionth of a second. The intense light causes fundamental, immediate changes in a solid by 'shaking' its atomic lattice structure and moving electrons about. But what exactly is happening at that elementary level? How do those atoms and electrons actually move?

On the way to cell-type materials

Physicists reveal the dynamic interaction of a class of artificial molecular machines - the so-called molecular shuttles - by using molecular-dynamic simulations.
