A team of physicists from the University of Vienna, TU Wien, and Ulm University has cooled a levitated silica nanoparticle to ...

As the demand for smarter, smaller, and more energy-efficient electronics surges, the limits of conventional 3D semiconductors are becoming impossible to ignore. Now, researchers from Netaji Subhas ...

The new, international theoretical study introduces a novel approach known as the ‘quantum virial expansion,’ offering a powerful tool to uncover the complex quantum interactions in two-dimensional ...

Just a few years ago, researchers discovered that changing the angle between two layers of graphene, an atom-thick sheet of carbon, also changed the material's electronic and optical properties. They ...

Thermoelectric materials convert heat into electricity, and their effectiveness is largely determined by their thermopower, which reflects how charge carriers respond to their environment. Designing ...

Quantum mechanics tells us that a particle can never be perfectly still. But how precisely can it be oriented? A research team at the University of ...

Understanding the hidden interfacial coupling in two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as multilayer graphene and hexagonal ...

Indian theoretical Satyendra Nath Bose is well-known for his work in the 1920s, when the field of quantum mechanics was in its infancy. It’s why the lesser-known fifth form of matter—Bose-Einstein ...

Graphene might be the wonder kid of the materials world but other 2D nanosheets also show great promise for novel applications, says Belle Dumé New dimensions Heterostructures based on 2D atomic ...
