Multidomain Ferroelectrics Test Positive for Negative Capacitance
An international collaboration involving researchers from the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the LCN, and colleagues from Switzerland, Spain, France and Luxembourg has demonstrated that destabilising the spontaneous polarisation of a special class of...
A Sticky-Spaghetti-with-Meatballs Model to Describe Nuclear Import
A sticky-spaghetti-with-meatballs model may be sufficient to describe how the nucleus in each of our cells selectively allows the entrance and exit of certain molecules, while blocking others to protect genetic material and normal functions of the cell. That is the...
Measurement of the force between magnetic monopoles
The world of materials we see around us is governed by just one law of nature, discovered by the French scientist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, in 1785. Coulomb’s law states that the attraction of positive electric charge to negative electric charge diminishes as...
The tiniest secrets of integrated circuits revealed
New research has demonstrated that the secrets of the tiniest active structures in integrated circuits can be revealed using a non-destructive imaging technique. The breakthrough required the efforts of an international team of scientists from JKU and Keysight...
