Physicists Finally Realize Long-Predicted 2D Topological Crystal in the Lab

Researchers in Finland have experimentally realized a long-predicted class of quantum material: a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator. Physicists at the University of Jyväskylä and Aalto ...

Large area MoS₂ reduces energy loss in magnetic memory films

Scientists at the University of Manchester have discovered that placing magnetic films on atomically thin molybdenum ...

Physicists Finally Observe a 50-Year-Old Theory Come to Life in a 2D Crystal

By cooling an atom-thin magnetic material, physicists have experimentally confirmed a classic 1970s model of two-dimensional ...

Superfluids emerge in 2D moiré crystal formed from time, study predicts

Conventional crystals are materials in which atoms arrange themselves in repeating spatial patterns. Time crystals, on the other hand, are phases of matter characterized by repeating motions over time ...

Contractile peri-nuclear actomyosin network repositions peripheral and polar chromosomes to promote early kinetochore–microtubule interactions

This important study demonstrates that a peri-nuclear actomyosin network, present in some types of human cells, facilitates kinetochore-spindle attachment of chromosomes in unfavorable locations - ...
