Remarkably, these experiments revealed that molybdenum ditelluride can exhibit superconductivity and magnetism at the same ...

A 40-year-old forgotten paper helped UChicago scientists develop a faster, more efficient method for synthesizing MXenes at a ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

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 ...

Materials that are incredibly thin, only a few atoms thick, exhibit unique properties that make them appealing for energy storage, catalysis and water purification. Researchers have now developed a ...

A novel 2-dimensional quantum substance has been discovered. The material is composed of atom-thin layers of cerium, silicon, and iodine (CeSiI) and is the first example of a two-dimensional material ...

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 ...

The atomic lattice structure of the layered magnetic semiconductor chromium sulfide bromide (CrSBr) have magnetic moments, or spins, that align with each other and alternate on each layer. This ...

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes ...
