Quantum oscillations defy expectations in this exotic material
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...
Wafer-scale porous graphene network shows room-temperature ferromagnetism
Researchers at Shenzhen University, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST), the University of Tokyo, the University of Science and Technology of China, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Shenzhen Technology University...
Switchable graphene nanoribbon flips its twist direction using a chiral solvent
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 just overturned a century-old physics assumption
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...
