Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

Engineers found a surprising link between graphene electrons and magnetic spin waves in magnonic crystals, offering new insights for RF technology and both fields.

The world is never really at rest. Even in a vacuum near ultracold temperatures where all classical motion should come to a halt, you'll find quantum fluctuations. In thin, two-dimensional materials, ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed-matter physics that were long considered separate. The electronic and ...

A single flat metalens now handles both excitation and fluorescence collection for diamond quantum sensors, enabling ...

In a paper published today in Nature Synthesis, a team from the lab of University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and Chemistry Department Prof. Paul ...

When you stumble upon something truly symmetrical in the wild, it can be a jarring experience that makes you feel like you’ve spotted a glitch in the Matrix. From the fractal patterns of a romanesco ...

In a paper published today in Nature Synthesis , a team from the lab of University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from ...

The word 'ceramics' is derived from the Greek keramos, meaning pottery and porcelain. The opaque and translucent cement and clay often used in tableware are not appropriate for optical applications ...
