Mar 21, 2025 A new study has achieved unprecedented precision in detecting tiny shifts in light displacements at the nanoscale. This is relevant for example in the characterisation of birefringent materials and in high-precision measurements of rotations. (Nanowerk News) A study, led by the University of Portsmouth, has achieved unprecedented...

Mar 21, 2025 (Nanowerk Spotlight) The speed at which a battery charges depends on how efficiently lithium ions move through its materials. In conventional lithium-ion batteries, these ions must navigate through complex crystal structures, often encountering resistance that slows their movement. This sluggish transport creates a bottleneck, forcing longer charging...
