New class of soft materials process logic using beams of light
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 21, 2025 Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete NAND gate in a soft material using beams of visible light. Published in Nature Communications, the work establishes a major contribution to the concept of materials that compute, where the material itself processes information without conventional electronic circuits. Fariha Mahmood, the paper's first author and a postdoctoral researcher at Cambridge, recounted, "To see these material ... read more |

Reshaping Properties of Two Dimensional Janus Semiconductors with Light Enables Tunable Optical Devices
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Nov 12, 2025 Rice University researchers studying a class of atom-thin semiconductors called transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have found that light can shift their atomic lattice, creating a tunable mechanism to adjust these material properties. This effect, observed in the Janus subtype of TMDs named for their asymmetrical atomic structure, opens prospects for technologies that use light rather than electricity - ranging from energy-efficient chips to sensitive sensors and flexible optoelectronic devices. ... read more
