A team at the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and UC Berkeley have built a cobalt-doped van der Waals zinc-oxide magnet from a solution of graphene oxide, zinc, and cobalt. Baking in a conventional lab oven transformed the mixture into a single atomic layer of zinc-oxide with a smattering of cobalt ...

Researchers from Skoltech, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Uppsala University have predicted the existence of antichiral ferromagnetism, a nontrivial property of some magnetic crystals that opens the door to a variety of new magnetic phenomena. Chirality, or handedness, is an extremely important fundamental property of objects in many fields of physics, mathematics, chemistry and ...

Highland Technology has introduced a pulse generator suitable for driving LiNbO3 Mach-Zehnder and similar electro-optical devices. Called T130, output swing is adjustable from -500mV to -7V, ac coupled into 50Ω. “Unlike typical telecom class electro-optical modulator driver modules specified for balanced data operation, the T130 output can swing up to 7V relative to baseline and is capable ...

Do not touch! Please, do not touch! Because that doesn’t have to be the case at all. A new generation of switches for touchless switching has been developed for exactly this purpose. Switching without touching. Switching without contaminating the surface with potentially harmful germs, viruses or bacteria. How do these switches work and what are ...

GCT’s has created an edge-mount USB Type-C (3.2 Gen 2) plug for dockable devices and plug-in external dongles. Called USB4155, it is mid-mounted so that the PCB thickness is within 2.9mm profile of the connector – the connector’s lower edge is close to flush with the board underside. Features on the external metal case are ...
