Researchers at the University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute, led by lead author Julien Barrier and corresponding authors Professor Sir Andre Geim and Professor Alexey Berdyugin of the National University of Singapore, together with contributing...

Scientists have uncovered an unusual form of electron behavior in zirconium pentatelluride, a quantum material that can act as both an insulator and a conductor. Under temperatures near absolute zero and magnetic fields reaching 60 tesla, electrons produced quantum...

Researchers at Nagoya University have synthesized a helical graphene nanoribbon (GNR) whose handedness can be switched on demand. The team built what they call a poly[4]helicene nanoribbon, a ladder-type polymer made entirely of [4]helicene subunits, and showed that...

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered an unexpected form of the Hall effect, overturning the long-held assumption that this electrical response only appears when a magnetic field points perpendicular to a material. Beyond expanding a century-old...

Sparc Technologies has completed the first commercial delivery of its ecosparc® graphene additive to a Tier 1 coatings customer, fulfilling a 160kg order from the company's production facility in Adelaide, South Australia, for use in a high-performance protective...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore, the Center for Neurophysics and Neuromorphic Technologies (Moscow), Queen's University (Kingston), HSE University (Moscow), the National Institute for Materials Science (Tsukuba) and the University of Manchester,...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS), led by Assistant Professor Ahmet Avsar of the university's Centre for Advanced 2D Materials, have combined a record-fidelity graphene spin-transport platform with magnetic-proximity band engineering to move...

Quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of gravity explain almost everything we see in nature, yet physicists still do not know how to unite them. A new theoretical framework suggests that some experiments that appear to show gravity behaving quantum mechanically may...

Researchers at Romania's National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies (IMT-Bucharest), working with the "Petru Poni" Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry in Iasi, the Horia Hulubei National R&D Institute for Physics and Nuclear...
