In insulators, these permitted energy bands are separated from each other ... in which it could move from atom to atom through the material. This means that all electrons remain in place and ...

Important material properties can be explained at the level of quantum physics - for example, whether a material conducts electricity or not. Analysing such quantum states has now revealed that there ...

Through materials science, we can tailor existing substances or engineer completely novel materials to generate new and ...

"A flat band in a band ... how these flat-band materials can be scaled up and integrated into real-world applications such as sound and vibration insulation, energy harvesting for sensors or ...

Landlords should foot a “significant” amount of the bill to meet energy efficiency standards outlined in Government proposals ...

“Although a wide range of [superconductor] correlated phenomena have indeed been observed in the moiré TMDs, robust ...

Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest topics in condensed matter physics today. They’re a bit strange: their surfaces conduct electricity, yet their interiors do not, instead acting as ...

Researchers have discovered an innovative way to manipulate electronic properties in a magnetic Weyl semimetal using hydrogen ...

They show that the umbilical cord-like connection naturally occurs when one energy band splits from another. This discovery opens new perspectives on materials science, revealing more complexity ...
