According to new research from Rice University, while Edison’s goal was simply to create a longer-lasting electric lamp, the ...

Although superfluids flow indefinitely, scientists just witnessed one stopping. It could be evidence of a superfluid transitioning into a supersolid.

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 ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials promise revolutionary advances in electronics and photonics, but many of the most interesting ...

Graphene, and the carbon nanotubes that can be made from it, has incredible potential for a wide variety of industries.

Graphene is an enormously promising material. It consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb pattern and has extraordinary properties: exceptional mechanical strength, ...

In a collaborative effort, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science and Japan's National Institute for Materials Science have captured an elusive fluid state in graphene. The study was published ...
