Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have observed a doping-tunable charge density wave (CDW) in a ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in ...

H-NbO₂—a novel van der Waals oxide synthesized by researchers from Japan—exhibits strongly correlated electronic properties with two-dimensional flexibility. By chemically extracting lithium ions from ...

H-NbO2, created by ion extraction from LiNbO2, combines 2D flexibility with correlated states like superconductivity, ...

Rice University graduate student Lebing Chen used a high-temperature furnace to make chromium triiodide crystals that yielded the 2D materials for experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's ...

The picosecond ultrasonics technique to probe atomic bonds and vdW forces in In 2 Se 3. In the experiment, blue-coloured pump laser pulses are shone on a flake of 2D material, and red-coloured probe ...

Interlayer coupling provides an opportunity to observe new physics and a novel strategy for modulating the electronic and optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ...

For all we know, the three dimensional world we see around us is really an illusion — one that’s actually in 2D. It’s a slightly unsettling idea, but it’s also one that physicists have been thinking ...

Why do we live in a universe with three dimensions of space and one of time—3+1 dimensions, as cosmologists would say? Why not some other combination, such as four dimensions of space or two ...
