(Nanowerk Spotlight) Researchers at the University of Antwerp explain how higher order supermoiré periodic modulations due to the encapsulation of graphene between hexagonal boron nitride affect the ...

When Thomas Alva Edison was painstakingly testing carbonized filaments for his early light bulbs in 1879, he was chasing a ...

The fractional quantum Hall effect has generally been seen under very high magnetic fields, but MIT physicists have now observed it in simple graphene. In a five-layer graphene/ hexagonal boron ...

When researchers set out to rebuild Thomas Edison’s 1879 light bulb, they expected a history lesson, not a materials science ...

Providing multiple functional roles simultaneously, the composition of seashells and bones gradually vary throughout their structure making them part of a group of materials called Functionally Graded ...
