It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself ...
The new form, called Ice XXI, appeared at room temperature in the lab, and it may have a similar density to ice on distant moons in our solar system ...
When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...
These newly discovered spinning crystals twist, break, and heal themselves, revealing a strange new side of solid matter.
Scientists have shown that twisting a crystal at the nanoscale can turn it into a tiny, reversible diode, hinting at a new era of shape-engineered electronics.
Perovskite solar cells have long been the most exciting “almost there” technology in clean ...
