A new study published in <i>Physical Review Letters</i> provides direct evidence of the breakdown of spin statistics in ion-atom charge exchange collisions. This study was led by scientists from the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that colloidal molecules with specific symmetrical shapes, such as polyatomic molecules, are spontaneously formed through self-assembly via the assembling of a blend solution of two types of conjugated polymers into clusters of micrometer-scale polymer droplets.

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have succeeded in observing the effects of spin current transfer and spin current generation from the non-magnetic side of a device, using a multilayer device consisting of a ferromagnetic layer and an organic semiconductor material.
