For the first time ICFO and UAB researchers have directly imaged a spin-orbit-coupled supersolid. The team has observed quantum fluids of atoms ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself ...

When materials become just one atom thick, melting no longer follows the familiar rules. Instead of jumping straight from solid to liquid, an unusual in-between state emerges, where atomic positions ...
