Cell Motility Driven by Actin Polymerization: A New Proposed Mechanism

In designing new motile materials, much can be learned by studying the physical mechanisms underlying cell crawling.

Ultra-Fast Electrically Driven Single Spin Rotations

A single electron spin in an external magnetic field forms a two-level system that can be used to create a spin qubit. However, achieving fast single spin rotations, as would be required to control a spin qubit, is a major challenge.

Ferroelectric Oxide Directly on Silicon

Silicon/silicon dioxide is arguably the most important technological interface. With the end of

Spin Transport in Nanowires

The interplay between spin transport and exchange coupling profoundly affects charge transport between conventional metals and ferromagnets. This results in  giant magnetoresistance and the spin valve

Discover Magazine Names NYU Physics Finding One of Top Stories of 2009

The NYU team, led by Jasna Brujic, an assistant professor in NYU’s Department of Physics, developed an innovative way to tabulate the number of spheres-they created a method for determining how spheres

Auger Recombination in Quantum Dot Materials

Auger recombination is an important mechanism that can limit the performance of solar cells.
