Society's increasing use of electronic devices motivates the search for new and better data storage techniques. Magnetic storage devices, such as hard disk drives, have been the mainstays for data storage over the past few ...
From The City College of New York's Center for Discovery and Innovation and the Â鶹ÒùÔºics Department comes news of a new type of magnetic quasiparticle created by coupling light to a stack of ultrathin two-dimensional magnets. ...
Within the Functional Oxides Printed on Polymers and Paper (FOXIP) project, researchers form Empa, EPFL and the Paul Scherrer Institute attempted to print thin-film transistors with metal oxides onto heat-sensitive materials ...
Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have been the focus of work by numerous research groups for some time. Standing just a few atomic layers thick, these structures are produced in the laboratory by combining atom-thick ...
Professors Hu Weida and Peng Hailin, two of researchers at Shanghai Institute of Technical Â鶹ÒùÔºics and Peking University, recently proposed momentum-matching and band-alignment van der Waals heterostructures to solve the ...
An RMIT-led international collaboration has observed, for the first time, electric gate-controlled exchange-bias effect in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures, offering a promising platform for future energy-efficient, beyond-CMOS ...
Piezoelectric materials can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy, and vice versa. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the search for two-dimensional (2D) layered piezoelectrics. Such layered van ...
Want a surface that won't get wet? Grab some sandpaper.
Scientists from The University of Manchester have developed a novel yet simple method for producing vertical stacks of alternating superconductor and insulator layers of tantalum disulphide (TaS2). The findings, from a team ...
Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory used neutron scattering to determine whether a specific material's atomic structure could host a novel state of matter called a spiral spin liquid. By tracking tiny magnetic ...
