Study Shows Large Molecules Move Faster on Rough Surfaces at Nanoscale

Roughness, or the irregularities present on a surface, is generally related to stickiness and slower motion. This holds good at varying length scales: at human size (1 m), walking along a rough, up and down, path takes a longer time than walking on a flat road.

MIPT Physicists Find Ways to Overcome Signal Loss in Magnonic Circuits

Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Kotelnikov Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics, and N.G. Chernyshevsky Saratov State University have demonstrated that the coupling elements in magnonic logic circuits are so crucial that a poorly selected waveguide can lead to signal loss.
