A new report by the Institute of Physics finds that most physicists believe UK will fail to hit its climate goals, as Michael Banks reports.
We report a detailed examination of the magnetic structure anhydrous cupric chloride ${\text{CuCl}}_{2}$ carried out by powder neutron diffraction, susceptibility, and specific heat measurements on polycrystalline single-crystal samples as well an evaluation spin-exchange interactions first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Anhydrous shows one-dimensional antiferromagnetic behavior long-range ordering below N\'eel temperature 23.9 K. Neutron diffraction reveal that, K,...
A new multiferroic material, CuBr2, is reported for the first time. CuBr2 has not only a high transition temperature (close to liquid nitrogen temperature) but also low dielectric loss and strong magnetoelectric coupling. These findings reveal importance of anion effects, in search multiferroics materials among these low-dimensional spin systems.
The US Department of Energy has awarded $50m to a consortium national laboratories and universities develop sodium-ion batteries as sustainable, low-cost alternative lithium-ion technology.

We report the use of sum- and difference-frequency generation for two-dimensional upconversion time gating. Using generation, which can provide gain as well (as an optical parametric amplifier), we have imaged through a scattering medium with attenuation exp(−25), using 1 mJ energy from single laser pulse.
We have investigated the high field magnetization of frustrated one-dimensional compound LiCuVO4. In zero field, LiCuVO4 undergoes long range antiferromagnetic order at TN≈2.5 K with a broad short Schottky type anomaly due to correlations in specific heat 32 K. Application magnetic induces rich phase diagram. An derivative respect applied is seen ∼7.5 T phase. this terms first experimental evidence middle cusp singularity (MFCS). Our numerical density matrix renormalization group results...
