From cell phones to solar panels to quantum computers, thin films are essential to current and emerging technologies. But making functional thin films requires control. During hours-long processes, ...

RHAAPsody, a machine learning system from PNNL, identifies subtle changes in thin film growth faster than human experts, paving the way for autonomous research.

This research on sputtered ITO films uncovers how growth conditions affect resistivity, emphasizing the need for uniform ...

It can only add single bits at a time and is limited to kilohertz clock speeds, but it is capable of executing the full ...

When materials are created on a nanometer scale—just a handful of atoms thick—even the thermal energy present at room ...

A team of physicists uncovered a strange twist in how superconductors behave when they’re reduced to just a few atomic layers ...

Clothes that can mimic the feeling of being touched, touch displays that provide haptic feedback to users, or even ultralight loudspeakers. These are just some of the devices made possible using thin ...

Surfaces, interfaces and thin films are planar structures that occur on the boundary of a material or at the junction between two different media. The physics of these systems is often heavily ...

Case in point: the films below. The movies that studios reserve for the doldrums of the early months are rarely the ones that compete for Oscars later on. But that doesn’t mean they’re ...

A team of researchers from Saarland University in Germany has found a way to turn super-thin, stretchy films—about the thickness of kitchen cling wrap—into smart materials that can bring ...

As has become par for the course for many films that Netflix makes, early critical reactions to this one have been mixed. Until more reviews come to light, then, it's hard to say if The Life List ...
