(Nanowerk News) Researchers at The University of Manchester have uncovered interesting phenomena when multiple two-dimensional materials are combined into van der Waals heterostructures (layered ...

Material behaviors depend on many things including not just the composition of the material but also the arrangement of its molecular parts. For the first time, researchers have found a way to coax ...

Moiré patterns occur everywhere. They are created by layering two similar but not identical geometric designs. A common example is the pattern that sometimes emerges when viewing a chain-link fence ...

Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have discovered a new class of materials – called intercrystals – with unique electronic properties that could power future technologies. Intercrystals ...

Atomic-force microscopy is a type of scanning probe microscopy with sub-Ångstrom resolution. It is able to gather data on the mechanical and electrical properties of materials and surfaces by ‘feeling ...
