An international team of scientists has organized the available bibliographic data on bilayer graphene, a high-potential material with possible applications in electronics and optics. The review paper ...

Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron) in materials, are a key focus of condensed matter physics studies. These ...

The observation of Hall quantization and complete lifting of the degeneracy in bilayer graphene at magnetic fields an order of magnitude lower than previously reported has important implications for ...

An international research team has demonstrated experimentally that electrons in naturally occurring double-layer graphene move like particles without any mass, in the same way that light travels.

Theorists have observed a rare phenomenon called the quantum anomalous Hall effect in a very simple material. Previous experiments have detected it only in complex or delicate materials. Theorists at ...

A research team at the University of Manchester has made a significant breakthrough in understanding lithium-ion storage within the thinnest possible battery anode, composed of just two layers of ...

Multiferroics are materials that exhibit more than one prominent "ferroic" property, such as ferromagnetism and ...

Add a drop of water to a strip of this paper-like material and something astounding happens: It clamps shut like a clam. In a split second the liquid has turned the material into a tiny tube, like a ...
