Scientists have invented a new two-dimensional (2D) material called 'glaphene' that combines the exotic properties of other ...

The discovery hinges on a rising technique in modern physics called “twistronics,” where layers of materials are contorted at ...

Drawing on experiments in Cao’s lab ... The shift in electrical properties is also much more extreme than what you can see in any other known CMR material, Cao added. “You have to violate all the ...

These state-of-the-art facilities at Argonne and SLAC ... dots using just light pulses lets scientists create materials with specific properties and functions. Just as Lego bricks can be ...

A juice box is a box that needs to keep liquid (juice) on the inside. Remind students that the properties of materials are important when thinking about making a product that needs to work in a ...

The new material is also of interest to artists. In fact, its remarkable optical properties came to light only when Diemut Strebe, an artist-in-residence at the MIT Center for Art, Science and Tec ...

Scientists have found a new way of spotting a property of topological space called topological invariant in quantum materials, that remains unchanged under continuous deformations or transformations.

The water-responsive properties of the pinecone served as inspiration for Chao Chen, a Royal College of Art graduate student who devised a building material that changes shape depending on the ...

In addition, "this discovery is important because it shows that even symmetrical materials can have special light-absorbing properties, opening up new possibilities for advanced sensing and ...

However, the thermal properties of materials can be exceedingly difficult to model. The trouble comes from phonons, which are subatomic particles that carry heat. Some of a material's thermal ...
