"A flat band in a band structure is a very special type of frequency ... into real-world applications such as sound and vibration insulation, energy harvesting for sensors or medical devices ...

Topological insulators (TIs) are among the hottest ... turning their focus to the material's band structure. Quantum mechanics tells us that the electron energy levels in an isolated atom are ...

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 ...

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 ...

Arts resources of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology now includes the school’s first building designed for the study ...

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

The work by researchers in the Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies could lead to energy-efficient microelectronics ...

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

Insulators have a wide band gap that is difficult for electrons ... both in their internal logical structure and in the absolute size of features in an integrated circuit. Every new process ...
