New research has found that ions diffuse 10,000 times faster inside atomically thin clays than in bulk clay crystals.

Researchers use hexagonal boron nitride as a tunnel barrier for ferromagnetic tunnel junctions.

Scientists propose a simple method to control and move a photonic nanojet by a ray focusing in a very small local area.

Linked Weyl surfaces, a novel type of topological phase that exists in five-dimensional space, were experimentally observed for the first time.

Scientists have discovered that nanoparticles of gold act unusually when close to the edge of a one-atom thick sheet of carbon, called graphene. This could have big implications for the development of new sensors and quantum devices.
