Researchers led by Shengxi Huang at Rice University investigated the behavior of polarons, a type of quasiparticle, in the nanomaterial tellurene. They found that as tellurene’s thickness decreases to ...

Using state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) simulations, they showed that when a single layer of the semiconductor ...

On-surface synthesis has received great attention as a method to create atomically-precise one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) polymers with intriguing properties. In particular, graphene ...

Flat materials that can morph into three-dimensional shapes have potential applications in architecture, medicine, robotics, space travel, and much more. But programming these shape changes requires ...

The following text will discuss the different theoretical and mathematical principles working behind geometry processing. It will also discuss how they are applied to different purposes while ...

Researchers at the Nankai University in China have fabricated a perovskite solar cell using a 2D/3D perovskite heterointerface that improves device stability and performance. The research team ...
