How electrons split: New evidence of exotic behaviors
In certain materials where the electrons are constrained in a quasi one-dimensional world, they appear to split into a magnet and an electrical charge, which can move freely and independently of each other. A longstanding question has been whether or not similar phenomenon can happen in more than one dimension. Researchers have uncovered new evidence showing that this can happen in quasi two-dimensional magnetic materials.
'Mind the gap' between atomically thin materials
When it comes to engineering single-layer atomic structures, 'minding the gap' will help researchers create artificial electronic materials one atomic layer at a time, according to a team of materials scientists.

Graphene offers X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy a window of opportunity
Researchers have found that graphene could make using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study materials in these environments much less expensive and complicated than the conventional approach.
Crafting ultrathin color coatings
New research suggests that an ultra-thin layer of a metal and a semiconductor could be applied to essentially any rough or flexible material to produce a vividly colored coating. The technique, which exploits optical interference effects, could potentially be used on wearable fabrics or stretchable electronics.
