Michele Simoncelli’s group introduces a new benchmark to evaluate how well machine learning models for atomic interactions translate quantum characteristics into macroscopic physical properties.
Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are tiny devices used in technologies such as microphones, accelerometers, and biosensors. MEMS are highly useful, but prone to physical stress that affects their performance, stability, and reliability. Tracking this interference is important, but attaching a separate sensor to such a miniscule structure is no easy task. Researchers at Tohoku University deve
From targeted cancer treatments to self-healing materials and microscopic robots, many emerging technologies depend on molecules that can be controlled with light. Researchers at Tohoku University have now developed a way to make these light-responsive molecules much more sensitive to visible light by using a molecular antenna. The breakthrough gives scientist better control over molecular photosw

Topological quantum materials combine unusual electronic states with properties such as magnetism or superconductivity, offering possibilities for future electronics and quantum technologies. Researchers at Tohoku University have now shown that changing the number of layers in a crystal can provide a systematic way to design topological magnets. The strategy builds on homologous series, families o
