RIKEN physicists have discovered how interactions between electrons can stabilize a repeating arrangement of swirling magnetic patterns known as skyrmions, which could help to further exploit these ...

A joint research team has successfully developed a two-dimensional (2D) quantum material platform through the superposition of moiré lattices. The research is published in Nature under the title ...

DNA origami has proven useful for organizing diverse nanoscale components into patterns with 6 nm resolution. However for many applications, such as nanoelectronics, large-scale organization of ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

Euclidean space-time is the familiar geometry of non-relativistic physics. Its spatial dimensions are geometrically flat. Within this paradigm, Newtonian gravity is completely described by a scalar ...

Hofstadter’s butterfly – a stunning fractal pattern that describes the behaviour of electrons in a magnetic field – has been measured experimentally for the first time. The breakthrough has been made ...
