When ice melts into water, it happens quickly, with the transition from solid to liquid being immediate. However, very thin materials do not adhere to these rules. Instead, an unusual state between ...
Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its crown may be slipping, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State.
A study in Nature Communications describes a BiOCl-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique for synthesizing ultrathin two-dimensional materials (2DMs) at significantly lower temperatures, ...
One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...
