Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new method for creating quantum states by twisting materials at the M-point, revealing exotic phenomena previously out of reach. This new direction ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

Twisted crystal lattices Moiré materials are produced by individually removing two layers of a material, each only one atom thick, twisting them slightly with respect to each other and then putting ...

We present a coupled-wave analysis for square-lattice photonic crystal lasers with transverse electric polarization. A model consisting of eight plane waves coupled by Bragg diffraction is used to ...

MIT chemists have developed a generative AI model that can make it much easier to determine the structures of powdered crystal materials. The prediction model could help researchers characterize ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions.

We have investigated an experimental technique to determine the lattice constant of a two-dimensional photonic crystal membrane using Bragg-diffraction measured with a FT-IR spectrometer. The membrane ...

Researchers also developed an atomic structural model of the samples. The crystal structure of 2D solid helium was constructed by inserting the helium atomic layers into the cubic diamond. Three ...

The crystal structure of KLP-12 complexed with curved α-, β- tubulin dimers suggested the structural model of microtubule dynamics inhibition by the kinesin-4 motor domain; kinesin-4 precisely ...
