Researchers have potentially discovered a way to make computers process data about 1,000 times ...

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

Rechargeable batteries are everywhere—from portable electronic devices and electric vehicles to renewable energy storage.

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create ...

Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...

Every year, the fair draws in third- through 12th-grade students from across the valley, challenging them to explore an array ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there.

Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, potentially opening the door to affordable, lab-scale high-field science. Generating ...
