A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in overcoming one of the most persistent challenges ...

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets are thin and magnetic materials in which molecules or layers are held ...

Physicists at RIKEN have developed an electronic device that hosts unusual states of matter, which could one day be useful for quantum computation. When a material exists as an ultrathin layer—a mere ...

The picosecond ultrasonics technique to probe atomic bonds and vdW forces in In 2 Se 3. In the experiment, blue-coloured pump laser pulses are shone on a flake of 2D material, and red-coloured probe ...

For all we know, the three dimensional world we see around us is really an illusion — one that’s actually in 2D. It’s a slightly unsettling idea, but it’s also one that physicists have been thinking ...

Gases can permeate through 2D channels made from materials like graphene and boron nitride much faster than predicted by theory. The effect can be explained by “specular surface scattering”, which ...

Physicists propose a new vantage point to observe quantum fractionalization. Rice University physicists Matthew Foster and Seth Davis want to view a vexing quantum puzzle from an entirely new ...
