Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have emerged as a material platform for the investigation of exciton physics. Their reduced dimensionality, combined with weak screening, fosters robust Coulomb ...

Biomechanics is the sport science field that applies the laws of mechanics and physics to human performance, in order to gain a greater understanding of performance in athletic events through ...

In the ceaseless pursuit of energy-efficient computing, new devices designed at UC Santa Barbara show promise for enhancements in information processing and data storage. Researchers in the lab of ...

A flash of light has turned a sheet of atoms into a dance floor. In a feat of precision physics, researchers from Cornell and ...

Stable skyrmions: First-principles calculations of the skyrmion-stabilizing Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction in pristine (bottom) and oxidized (top) Fe 3 GaTe 2-x enabled the team to understand why ...

For the first time, physicists have built a two-dimensional experimental system that allows them to study the physical properties of materials theorized to exist only in four-dimensional space. An ...

Besides the basic well-known states of matter – solid, liquid, gas and plasma – there are many exotic states being conjured up in the lab. One of these, known as a “supersolid,” was only confirmed a ...

What if the Universe – and fundamentally, space itself – were like a pile of laundry? Have one. See this laundry pile? Looks just like our universe. No? Here, have another. See it now? It’s got three ...
