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 ...

Two-dimensional materials are only a few atoms thick yet hold great promise for the electronics of tomorrow. Because they are so thin, they can be piled in strange, twisted configurations that yield ...

Interlayer coupling provides an opportunity to observe new physics and a novel strategy for modulating the electronic and optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ...

Two-dimensional gallium (2D Ga) is recently realized through the confinement heteroepitaxy (CHet) technique. In this technique, Ga is intercalated at the interface between a bilayer epitaxial graphene ...

The twisted spirals made in this work exhibit interesting, tuneable superconductive properties. Courtesy: S Jin Researchers have found a way to grow layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials with ...

Vacuum tunnelling – an exotic process by which empty space can become temporarily filled with virtual particles when an ...

Near the 100th anniversary of the discovery of ferroelectricity, so-called sliding ferroelectricity has been proposed and confirmed recently in a series of experiments that have stimulated remarkable ...
