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 ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years. These interactions are interesting, among other things, because they lead to ...

AFM can provide new insights into 2D materials to better understand their potential applications. What are the key characteristics and importance of 2D materials like graphene and hexagonal boron ...

After decades of chasing after a rare hexagonal diamond, a Chinese team says their iteration of the elusive material is the most important yet. Reading time 3 minutes In 1962, researchers hypothesized ...

An illustration of the two-dimensional magnonic crystal developed in this study, viewed from an oblique angle. Copper disks are periodically arranged on a magnetic garnet film. A collaborative group ...
