A key factor for the performance of sensors is the speed at which the system returns to its initial state after a disturbance ...

For four decades, one of the most celebrated equations in physics remained half-proven. The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, ...

A team of physicists from the University of Vienna, TU Wien, and Ulm University has cooled a levitated silica nanoparticle to ...

As the demand for smarter, smaller, and more energy-efficient electronics surges, the limits of conventional 3D semiconductors are becoming impossible to ignore. Now, researchers from Netaji Subhas ...

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation has been experimentally verified for the first time on 2D surfaces - thanks to sophisticated material design and polaritons. The question of how surfaces grow is one ...

Just a few years ago, researchers discovered that changing the angle between two layers of graphene, an atom-thick sheet of carbon, also changed the material's electronic and optical properties. They ...

The new, international theoretical study introduces a novel approach known as the ‘quantum virial expansion,’ offering a powerful tool to uncover the complex quantum interactions in two-dimensional ...

Thermoelectric materials convert heat into electricity, and their effectiveness is largely determined by their thermopower, which reflects how charge carriers respond to their environment. Designing ...

Quantum mechanics tells us that a particle can never be perfectly still. But how precisely can it be oriented? A research team at the University of ...

Graphene might be the wonder kid of the materials world but other 2D nanosheets also show great promise for novel applications, says Belle Dumé New dimensions Heterostructures based on 2D atomic ...
