Artificial 'Molecules' with Asymmetric Structure can Control Flow of Electrons in Semiconductor Materials

Nanoscale devices confine electrons and enable manipulation of electron spin—an inherent property akin to the direction in which the particle is rotating. An unexpected mechanism for this control in asymmetric stru...

Researchers Make Magnetic Sheets Nanometers Thick

Materials do funny things at the nanoscale. A metal oxide complex called lanthanum strontium manganite is ferromagnetic in large quantities. But scaled to nanometer thickness, it becomes an insulator and loses much of its ferromagnetism. Same material, different behavior.
