Researchers have shown the possibility to control the transfer of magnetic energy from light to matter by means of localised plasmons, waves of light on the surface of a metal that allow fine control…
A team of physicists has succeeded in highlighting the movement of a single atom in a silicon crystal, capable of jumping, under laser excitation, between several positions in a fluorescent defect.
In a recent work, researchers show that particles entrained in a flow close to a deformable wall undergo a force that moves them slightly away from it, an important result for the general…
By studying laboratory microearthquakes generated in sheared granular stacks, researchers have shown that earthquake physics is universally described if total fault deformation replaces time as the…
