A joint research team has successfully developed a two-dimensional (2D) quantum material platform through the superposition of moiré lattices.

Diamond is one of the hardest materials known to man, but experts think it can be squashed into something even harder. The precious stone is a naturally occurring substance made of carbon crystals.

Deep-level defects in the diamond lattice aid in carrier generation. The embedded platinum nanoparticles trigger a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, boosting light absorption.

The Marie-Thérèse Pink, thought to have belonged to Marie Antoinette, was auctioned by Christie’s in New York.

A new photodetector design using platinum-infused diamond nanowires achieves record-breaking UV sensitivity and heat ...

Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

Scientists have developed a new way to improve the lifespan of zinc-ion batteries, offering a safer and more sustainable ...

The breakthrough centres on a phenomenon called the Cooperative Jahn-Teller Effect (CJTE). A coordinated lattice distortion caused by a specific 1:1 ratio of manganese ions (Mn³ ⁺ and Mn ⁴⁺). When ...

Boston College physicists have discovered a complex landscape of electronic states that can co-exist on a kagome lattice, resembling those in high-temperature superconductors, they reported this fall ...
