Comparing a traditional academic career path or BSD ('Big Shining Doctorate') with the real-life careers of four investigators. In a new perspective article, the four argue for more recognition of non ...

Researchers used the nonlinear optical response of atom-like defects in a diamond to build a tiny thermometer. This research may lead to temperature sensors that can work inside living cells and other ...

A research team has discovered a surprising phenomenon that could revolutionize how we think about signal amplification. Just two tiny vibrating units can, when connected with a delay, amplify their ...

Achieving both high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range remains a central challenge in microelectromechanical accelerometers.
