Scientists have discovered the mechanism involved when transition metal dichalcogenides on metallic substrates transform from the semiconducting 1H-phase to the quasi-metallic 1T'-phase.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have emerged as a material platform for the investigation of exciton physics. Their reduced dimensionality, combined with weak screening, fosters robust Coulomb ...

A flash of light has turned a sheet of atoms into a dance floor. In a feat of precision physics, researchers from Cornell and ...

A team of researchers at the Max Born Institute have managed to fully characterize few-femtosecond-long light pulses tunable ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Stable skyrmions: First-principles calculations of the skyrmion-stabilizing Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction in pristine (bottom) and oxidized (top) Fe 3 GaTe 2-x enabled the team to understand why ...

Besides the basic well-known states of matter – solid, liquid, gas and plasma – there are many exotic states being conjured up in the lab. One of these, known as a “supersolid,” was only confirmed a ...

The Navier–Stokes partial differential equation was developed in the early 19th century by Claude-Louis Navier and George ...
