1D bands take on electronic or magnetic properties. Courtesy: Yakobson Research Group/Rice University Researchers at Rice University in the US have proposed a new way of controlling the magnetic and ...

Rossi’s current research focuses on two other promising 2D materials – tungsten disulfide and hexagonal boron nitride. He ...

Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like ...

Figure 1: Transition and correlation between phase and physics in TMDs. Overall, the use of robust phase transitions to versatile 2D layered structures is a timely and challenging issue for science ...

Near the 100th anniversary of the discovery of ferroelectricity, so-called sliding ferroelectricity has been proposed and confirmed recently in a series of experiments that have stimulated remarkable ...

Limiting quantum particles to move in one, two, or three dimensions has led to the observation of many striking phenomena. A prime example is the quantization of the Hall conductance measured in 2D ...

Scientists have investigated a new two-dimensional form of matter known as Bose glass, which could help physicists study a concept known as many-body localization. Such a concept could help quantum ...

Physicists propose a new vantage point to observe quantum fractionalization. Rice University physicists Matthew Foster and Seth Davis want to view a vexing quantum puzzle from an entirely new ...

Stacking dies introduces layers of complexity driven by multi-physics interactions, which must be addressed at the start of ...
