An exotic state of matter has been found lurking within a previous exotic state which had discovered in a magnetic compound ...

Researchers at Osaka University have revealed a link between the equations describing strain caused by atomic dislocations in ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered a new phase a matter called ...

In a study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers from Osaka University uncovered an unexpected connection between the equations for defects in a crystalline lattice and ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Magnesium is a common chemical element, an alkaline earth metal, which is highly chemically reactive and is very light (even ...

Newly published research demonstrates a novel way of generating phonon-polaritons by making electrons collide with crystal lattice structures. The discovery paves the way for cheaper, smaller ...

Paul Hawken’s survey of carbon science is extensive, sound and frequently fascinating, a fine example of popular science ...

The new phase comes in the form of a pattern of electron spins—half of which are highly ordered, or "cold", and the rest of ...

Electrons have a property called spin, which is akin to the angular momentum, like that of a spinning top. They can point in ...

One way of creating a time crystal is to knock some of the carbon atoms out of the crystal lattice of diamond, creating what ...
