Innovative diode design uses ultrafast quantum tunneling to harvest infrared energy from the environment.

The standard unit for mass will have a new definition before the year is out

Fine tuning the composition of nitride alloys can further the development of optical and electronic interface devices.

A theoretical model will allow systematic study of a promising class of peculiar quantum states.

A loudspeaker design could allow small devices to produce powerful low-frequency sounds.

Physicists are playing unexpected roles in meeting future global energy challenges by modeling technologies such as fracking.

Nagoya University-led team of physicists use a synchrotron radiation X-ray source to probe a so-called “structure-less” transition and develop a new understanding of molecular conductors.

Are density distributions of the vast universe and the nature of smallest particles related? In a recent research, scientists from HKUST and Harvard University revealed the connection between those two aspects, and argued that our universe could be used as a particle physics "collider" to study the high energy particle physics.

The Einstein Legacy Project has named Kavli IPMU Director Hitoshi Murayama as a contributor to its Genius：100 Visions of the Future project. Murayama's vision will be one of 100 to be included in the world's first 3D-printed book.
