A long standing mystery in spintronics has revolved around why some promising crystalline materials stubbornly refuse to ...

Researchers discover that embedding iridium atoms inside catalyst crystals instead of on the surface dramatically improves ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from ...

Research shows that atomic-scale strain in WS2 on graphene reshapes exciton energies, highlighting its role in advancing 2D ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light.

Scientists have discovered a way to efficiently transfer electrical current through specific materials at room temperature, a ...

A researcher at the Department of Physics at Tohoku University has uncovered a surprising quantum phenomenon hidden inside ordinary crystals: the strength of interactions between electrons and lattice ...

In this contribution we give an introduction to the foundations and methods of lattice gauge theory. Starting with a brief discussion of the quantum mechanical path integral, we develop the main ...

In math, the search for optimal patterns never ends. The sphere-packing problem — which asks how to cram balls into a (high-dimensional) box as efficiently as possible — is no exception. It has ...
