Physically transient optics, a form of optics that can physically disappear with precisely controlled degradation behaviors, has widespread applications including information security, drug release, and degradable implants. Here, a set of silk-based programmable vanishing, biologically functional...[ Learn more ]
Optical frequency combs, consisting of well-controlled equidistant frequency lines, have been widely used in precision spectroscopy and metrology. Terahertz combs have been realized in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) by employing either an active mode-locking or phase seeding technique, or a disper...[ Learn more ]
Operation speed is a key challenge in phase-change random-access memory (PCRAM) technology, especially for achieving subnanosecond high-speed cache memory. Commercialized......[ Learn more ]
Zengfeng Di and co-workers publish a peer-reviewed original article in small as cover article . In this article, they demonstrate a combined and controlled approach called edge-cutting transfer to precisely generate spatially aligned Si/Ge nanoribbons with a designed geometry. [ Learn more ]
