Recently, the research team led by JIANG Zhizhong, from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), found a honeycomb structure in localized regions at the top ...

Negative stiffness honeycombs are a hexagonal cell structure that turns soft under pressure, but then resumes its resiliency without internal breakage. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...

Research on graphene has revealed remarkable phenomena arising in the honeycomb lattice. However, the quantum spin Hall effect predicted at the K point could not be observed in graphene and other ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are pioneering the design and synthesis of quantum materials, which are central to discovery science involving synergies with ...

Two-dimensional carbon layers, so-called graphenes, are regarded as a possible substitute for silicon in the semiconductor industry. The electronic properties of these layers can be varied by ...

(Nanowerk News) Seeking for low-dimensional boron allotropes has attracted considerable interest in the past decades and tremendous theoretical works predict the existence of monolayer boron. As boron ...
