On a Saturday afternoon in the fall of 2021, Silvio Decurtins was leafing through a paper with a title that could have been pulled from a comic book for mathematically inclined teens: “Plato’s Cube ...

Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...

Optics meets 2D materials: a simple probe light beam exiting an optical moiré lattice can be chopped up into diffuse streaks or confined into a single bright spot, depending on the twist angle in the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Architecture is key when designing new materials – and DNA is probably the most programmable biomaterial for creating a wide range of rationally designed and functionally enhanced ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...
