Wrinkles can be an asset—especially for next-generation electronics. Rice University scientists have discovered that tiny ...

Scientists discovered that nanoscale wrinkles in 2D materials can preserve electron spin, enabling ultracompact and ...

Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

Might two bent crystals pave the way to finding new physics? The Standard Model of particle physics describes our world at its smallest scales exceptionally well. However, it leaves some important ...

At ultracold temperatures, interatomic collisions are relatively simple, and their outcome can be controlled using a magnetic field. However, research by scientists led by Prof. Michal Tomza from ...

Physicists propose new solution to the neutron lifetime puzzle Moreover, this technique could enhance our understanding of the quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter not only produced in high-energy ...

09 December 2020 Proton collisions probe the final frontier of the standard model of particle physics The nuclear forces that act on short-lived subatomic particles have been hard to study.

Extreme collisions between neutron stars could create exotic particles beyond the standard model, including axions, the hypothetical particle that comprises dark matter.
