Theorists have found a way around this conundrum by assigning arbitrary latent energies to its surfaces or, in the case of two-dimensional materials, its edges.

Scientists describe a phase in between the liquid and the solid for electron crystals - a liquid crystal state.

The system regulates its own temperature in response to environmental disturbances.

Producing chirality, a property found throughout nature, through large-scale self-assembly could lead to applications in sensing, machine perception and more.

Theoretical physicists use computer models, equations and scientific figures to explain how nanostructures assemble.

A breakthrough algorithm expands the exploration space for materials by orders of magnitude.

Peel-and-stick device could pave the way for remote monitoring.

With atomic precision, scientists built a testbed to manipulate electrons in entirely new ways with potential applications in quantum computing.

Researchers have developed a new type of magnetometer that can be integrated into microelectronic chips and that is fully compatible with the current integrated circuits.

When charged particles are being shot through ultra-thin layers of material, sometimes spectacular micro-explosions occur, sometimes the material remains almost intact.

With the help of mirrors, placed only a few hundred nanometers apart, a research team has managed to use light more efficiently. The finding could eventually be useful for controlling solar energy conversion during photosynthesis, or other reactions driven by light.
