Scientists report three crystal structures of periodic rippled beta sheets, a novel protein structure with potential applications in biomedicine and materials science.
An international team of physicists recently presented a systematic analysis of the linear response of non-Hermitian systems having exceptional points.
Scientists have discovered an entirely new type of phase transitions. They display the phenomenon of quantum entanglement involving many atoms, which previously has only been observed in the realm of few atoms.
Blackbody response is highly desired in two-dimensional (2D) infrared photodetectors, which determines their practical applications. However, limited by the thickness and complex defects of 2D materials, 2D photodetectors still suffer from problems such as low quantum efficiency and large dark current. Researchers now demonstrate fully depleted self-aligned van der Waals (vdW) photodetectors based on a heterosandwiched structure.
