Nov 12, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Physicists at The University of Texas at Arlington have developed a new technique that can measure the properties of the topmost atomic layer of materials without including information from the underlying layers. Researchers from the Positron Lab in the UTA Department of Physics utilized a...
Researchers open door to stain-free labeling of cellular components
Nov 12, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Under the microscope, healthy and unhealthy cells can be very difficult to distinguish. Scientists use stains or fluorescent tags targeting specific proteins to identify cell types, characterize their state, and study the impact of drugs and other therapies. While its impact on medicine has been...
The transformation between different topological spin textures
Nov 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Skyrmions and bimerons are fundamental topological spin textures in magnetic thin films with asymmetric exchange interactions and they can be used as information carrier for next generation low energy consumption memory, advanced neuromorphic computing, and advanced quantum computing as they have multiple degrees of freedom...
Black holes don’t always power gamma-ray bursts, new research shows
Nov 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been detected by satellites orbiting Earth as luminous flashes of the most energetic gamma-ray radiation lasting milliseconds to hundreds of seconds. These catastrophic blasts occur in distant galaxies, billions of light years from Earth. A sub-type of GRB known as a...
