Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), cylindrical nanostructures made of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, have proved to be ...

A collaborative group of researchers has potentially developed a means of controlling spin waves by creating a hexagonal pattern of copper disks on a magnetic insulator. The breakthrough is expected ...

Graphene, which is comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is a widely used material ...

Researchers found evidence that bilayer graphene quantum dots may host a promising new type of quantum bit based on so-called valley states. In quantum computing, the question as to what physical ...

Graphene is the most prominent member of the 2D materials family: just a single atom in thickness, it is a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. This novel nanomaterial is ...

Graphene is the most well-known member of the 2D materials family. It consists of a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice with the thickness of a single atom. This unique ...

In brief: Chinese researchers have developed a synthetic diamond that is significantly harder and more resilient than those that occur naturally here on Earth. If commercially viable, the new diamond ...

A team of physicists, materials scientists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in China, working with a colleague from Umeå University, in Sweden, has grown a diamond that is harder ...
