The most famous packing problem concerns spheres. In 1611, the astronomer Johannes Kepler proposed that the densest way to ...

The honeycomb method for your double-crusted pies saves you from the stress and mental gymnastics of making a lattice design to top your pie, but it's just as impressive.

How do bees make honey? A scientist breaks down this intricate process. Can you eat honeycomb? On a technical level, you can eat honeycomb. But experts warn that not everyone should, and even when ...

Borophene is known to have triangular lattice with holes, while honeycomb lattice of boron was predicted to be energetically unstable. However, a research team led by Prof. K. H. Wu at Institute ...

Graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms, has been attracting much interest in recent years. Electrons therein behave as massless relativistic particles, giving rise to ...

Formation of honeycomb lattice through lattice distortion. (A) In-plane slices created from STEM tomography showing the hexagonal symmetries at the top and bottom layers and the honeycomb symmetry ...

Boron can form a purely honeycomb, graphene-like 2-D structure. Borophene is known to have triangular lattice with holes, while a honeycomb lattice of boron was predicted to be energetically unstable.

A quantum spin liquid Honeycomb lattice meets elusive standards of the Kitaev model Date: October 24, 2017 Source: Boston College Summary: Researchers report creating a metal oxide with a ...

Our optical lattice has the exact same geometry as the atomic lattice. In one experiment, for instance, my team and I made an optical version of graphene with the same honeycomb lattice structure ...
