In a first, physicists have directly seen Hofstadter’s butterfly—a long-sought-after fractal in the quantum realm ...

In a discovery that brings a legendary quantum theory to life, physicists at Princeton University have directly observed ...

If it were possible to uniformly 'coat' 300-mm silicon wafers with a monolayer or perhaps bilayer 4 of graphene, standard semiconductor processing techniques could, perhaps, pattern graphene into ...

Scientists at Princeton University have made a groundbreaking discovery in quantum materials, revealing that electron energy levels in certain systems follow a fractal pattern known as Hofstadter’s ...

Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have introduced a new class of reconfigurable ...

A moiré pattern appears when you stack and rotate two copies of an image with regularly repeating shapes, turning simple ...

Their study highlights a special way to arrange electrons in graphene, where they freeze into a perfectly ordered pattern. Surprisingly, while staying locked in place, all the electrons spin ...

Pattern template for graphene nanoribbons: Depending on the direction of the ribbon axis, graphene nanoribbons have an armchair edge (orange) or a zigzag edge (blue). (Image: Empa) Graphene ...

Twistronics is a field of study that emerged from the intersection of nanotechnology and materials science. It involves manipulating the electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials ...
