A single gemstone from Myanmar holds the title of Earth's rarest mineral, kyawthuite.

Physicists surprised to discover electrons in pentalayer graphene can exhibit fractional charge. New study suggests how this could work.

In a recent article, researchers analyzed defect structures in monolayer graphene and hexagonal boron nitride using STEM imaging and neural network-based analysis, uncovering distinct responses to ion ...

and as a first stage in the accurate study of all these properties it is necessary to make a precise determination of the crystal structure.

their energy reduces and they arrange in a stable-grid-like structure due to their mutual repulsion. This unique formation of electrons is called the Wigner crystal (also called electron ice).

The team analyzed the grain boundaries, or defects in the crystal structure, in the resulting images to identify different ...

Researchers at the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (UCT Prague) have pioneered a novel method for the rapid and scalable synthesis of 2D transition metal sulfides. Utilizing a ...
