Covalent adaptable network (CAN) has attracted significant interest in the soft matter community, as it enables stress relaxation in a crosslinked polymer network. However, all CAN systems have ...

Everyone knows that time’s arrow only goes in one direction, regardless of the system or material involved. In the case of material time, i.e. the ageing of materials such as amorphous materials ...

In recent years, topological materials have been studied extensively. A typical example of a topological material is a topological insulator, which is a unique insulator that does not conduct ...

Groups of scientists found in 2017 that long-range magnetic order can stably existence at atomic layer thickness in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials. This significant discovery ...
