Oct 22, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Scientists at the University of WisconsinMadison have discovered a way to control the growth of twisting, microscopic spirals of materials just one atom thick. The continuously twisting stacks of two-dimensional materials built by a team led by UWMadison chemistry Professor Song Jin create new properties...

Galactic archaeology
Oct 22, 2020 (Nanowerk News) No one has yet found the first stars. They're hypothesized to have formed about 100 million years after the Big Bang out of universal darkness from the primordial gases of hydrogen, helium, and trace light metals. These gases cooled, collapsed, and ignited into stars up...

Abstract:Imagine sometime in the near future the ability to quickly scan over airframes with...
Topological states caught in the act
Oct 23, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Topological states of matter hold tremendous promise for potential applications in quantum technologies. The creation and control of such states on demand with short flashes of light is currently under intense investigation. Now an international collaboration of researchers involving a theory team at the MPSD...
