Quantum physics analyzes amazing matter properties that you can only observe at microscopic level and that face up to the reality that we can see at our level. Superfluidity, as well as superconductivity, are macroscopic quantum phenomena: superfluids have a great ability to flow without resistance along thin an of...
Nature is formed of atoms that they use to form more or less complex molecules. Chemical bonds and interactions keep atoms joint. This research has studied a very unknown chemical bond, the agostic bonds or interactions. They are very special because they don't join two atoms, so an atom and a bond.
UAB researchers have studied one of the most promising unidimensional systems for future applications in the nanoelectronics field: the silicon nanowires. The scientists have studied silicon nanowires longer than those analyzed until now, and have concluded that are more realistic systems and...
UAB researchers have developed a making method of magnetic elements with submicrometric dimensions more simple and economic than usuals. The process is to deform locally no magnetic material. These structures have many possible aplications: magnetic data storage systems, magnetic sensors, biomedical aplications or magnetoelectronic micro and...
The history of radioactivity, traditionally considered a mere antecedent of nuclear physics, in has in recent years been subject to a through a deeply historographical review. This new perspective takes into account the social, cultural and industrial implications of this science and serves as narrative framework in Néstor Herran?s thesis. In this...
Liquid crystal screens are a very common display in present devices of consumer electronics. Researchers of the UAB Phisics Department, the Miguel Hernández Elche University and the Alacant University have written an article where they show how to model the reflections produced inside of the LCD screen and what is the effect in the modeling...
Einstein introduced into his equations a cosmological constant in order to explain a static universe. Who would have thought that some years later this same constant would help to deduce another small detail: the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe? A team of UAB...
A team of researchers of the UAB have developed a process which could increase the computer storage capacity. This application is due to the study of the magnetical properties of circular structures with submicrometrics size. By means of these tiny disks, the researchers have obtained "Exchange Biased Vortices", that could rise the magnetic...
