Scientists have created the first-ever atomic movies showing how atoms rearrange locally within a quantum material as it transitions from an insulator to a metal. With the help of these movies, the ...
When water freezes into ice or boils into vapor, its properties change dramatically at specific temperatures. These so-called ...
The melting of materials seems like a simple phenomenon. However, when their thickness is reduced to just a few atoms, ...
Hybrid improper ferroelectricity represents a paradigm shift in the design of multiferroic materials. Unlike conventional ferroelectrics, where polarisation emerges directly from a primary ionic ...
A team of researchers reported the first direct observation of a surprising quantum phenomenon predicted over half a century ago known as a superradiant phase transition, which occurs when two groups ...
