The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

Researchers have discovered they can detect atomic 'breathing,' or the mechanical vibration between two layers of atoms, by observing the type of light those atoms emitted when stimulated by a laser.

Researchers investigating atomic-scale phenomena impacting next-generation electronic and quantum devices have captured the first microscopy images of atomic thermal vibrations, revealing a new type ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

Imaging the Invisible in Atomic Vibrations Using a novel imaging technique known as electron ptychography, scientists have directly imaged phasons in a twisted 2D material called tungsten diselenide.

Twisted 2D bilayers show angle dependent atomic vibrations, revealing how misalignment affects heat flow and aiding design of heat resistant electronics. (Nanowerk News) Twisted 2D material bilayers, ...

In the body, small objects can cause big problems. It's not just that even the largest tumors start out as single cells; blood clots in the brain can be miniscule, single fried neurons can cause ...

University of Washington researchers have discovered they can detect atomic "breathing," or the mechanical vibration between two layers of atoms, by observing the type of light those atoms emitted ...

Two-dimensional materials are only a few atoms thick yet hold great promise for the electronics of tomorrow. Because they are so thin, they can be piled in strange, twisted configurations that yield ...
