Understanding how light travels through various materials is essential for many fields, from medical imaging to manufacturing. However, due to their structure, materials often show directional ...

Georgetown University researchers have discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious ...

In general, when you measure material properties such as optical permittivity, your measurement doesn’t depend on the direction in which you make it. However, recent research has shown that this is ...

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) has emerged as a powerful numerical technique that overcomes several limitations inherent in traditional finite element and finite difference approaches. Its ability ...

The demand for cost-effective but increasingly greater computing power over the last fifty years has driven research and development into new materials and processes to meet the demand. Devices have ...

Mott insulators, governed by strong correlations, exhibit exceptional nonlinear optics. Guided by first-principles, ...

Anisotropic nanoparticles are nanoparticles that possess different properties along different axes. Unlike their isotropic counterparts, which have uniform properties in all directions, anisotropic ...

It is critical to always be aware of how material anisotropy might affect a design. A case in point is how anisotropy played a part in an individual getting injured when he tried to loosen the ...
