'Atomic dance' reveals new insights into performance of 2D materials

Researchers used electron microscopy to observe the cause of failure in a widely used 2D material, which could help researchers develop more stable and reliable materials for flexible electronic devices.

A novel formulation to explain heat propagation

Researchers have developed a novel formulation that describes how heat spreads within crystalline materials. Their equations will make it easier to design next-generation electronic devices at the nanoscale, in which these phenomena can become prevalent.

The shape of water: what water molecules look like on the surface of graphene

Scientists combine data analysis techniques with molecular dynamics simulations to understand the structure of water on material surfaces.

Harnessing the domino effect for metamaterials

Researchers use models and experiments to guide and harness transition waves in multi-stable mechanical structures.

Physicists proposed fast method for printing nanolasers from perovskites

An international research team has developed a new method of synthesizing miniature light sources. It is based on a special laser which produces millions of nanolasers from a perovskite film in a few minutes.
