Researchers have discovered a new way to tune the quantum properties of tiny defects in diamond—by gently stretching or ...

Materials that emit and manipulate light are at the heart of technologies ranging from solar energy to advanced imaging ...

A new technique maintains structural integrity by essentially hiding openings in materials from surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing an opening, such as a hole or a window, to protect against a ...

Whether designing a window in an airliner or a cable conduit for an engine, manufacturers devote a lot of effort to reinforcing openings for structural integrity. But the reinforcement is rarely ...
