Researchers have produced nearly pure hexagonal diamond, a material long theorized to be harder than conventional diamond, by ...

Physicists in China have uncovered new evidence that chiral phonons and magnons can interact strongly inside magnetic crystals. Using neutron spectroscopy, a team led by Song Bao at Nanjing University ...

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years. These interactions are interesting, amongst other things, because they lead ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...

Using DNA origami, researchers have built a diamond lattice with a periodicity of hundreds of nanometers -- a new approach for manufacturing semiconductors for visible light. Using DNA origami, LMU ...
