Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new method for creating quantum states by twisting materials at the M-point, revealing exotic phenomena previously out of reach. This new direction ...

The graphite found in your favorite pencil could have instead been the diamond your mother always wears. What made the ...

In this representative study, we fabricate 3D photonic band gap crystals from silicon with the diamond-like inverse woodpile structure consisting of two perpendicular arrays of interpenetrating ...

The crystal structure changes from single crystal silicon core to the surface of the bulk in the large-size polycrystalline silicon samples were revealed, providing a technical basis for optimizing ...

An experimental rationalization of the structure type encountered in DNA and RNA by systematically investigating the chemical and physical properties of alternative nucleic acids has identified ...

Fig. 2 B and D and SI Appendix, Fig. S6 show calculated T2 of hypothetical host materials composed of a single element with one of the stable crystal structures (Fe, W: bcc/Au, Cu: fcc/Be, Co: hcp/C, ...

Materials called perovskites can be created from any substances capable of being arranged into the same cubic crystal structure.

Thermally and electrically isolated single crystal silicon structures have been fabricated using a post-processing anisotropic tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) electrochemical etch. The process ...

Several non-diamond materials, which include cubic zirconia and silicon carbide and are often called diamond simulants, resemble diamond in appearance and many properties.

In this paper, we present an experimental study, validated by two different approaches, of the influence of the top cladding refractive index on the transmission and slow light properties of ...
