​Physicists have always wanted to reach the quantum tunnelling limit (~0.5 nm) to exploit novel quantum mechanics and quantum devices, which is the future of IT industry. However, dynamic modulation of such a small cavity is extremely challenging due to the lack of proper spacers that can reversibly actuate the sub-1-nm gaps (one hundred thousandth of the width of human hair). Recently, resear...

​In our daily life, there is an oddity: some people with a huge stomach can keep slender while someone of big size may put on weight very easily even on water. Have you ever thought it is the obesity factor that is taking effects. Does it sound exciting if obesity factor is figured out and applied by scientists to effectively fight against obesity and treat diseases?Recently, the team of Prof....
