Researchers have identified antiferromagnetism in a real icosahedral quasicrystal, reigniting interest in the quest to uncover antiferromagnetic quasicrystals. Quasicrystals (QCs) are a remarkable ...

A new class of semiconductors that can store information in electric fields could enable computers that run on less power, ...

"The wurtzite ferroelectric nitrides were recently discovered and have a broad range of applications in memory electronics, RF electronics, acousto-electronics, microelectromechanical systems and ...

One such state, first proposed by Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner, is the Wigner crystal—a structured electron arrangement caused by their mutual repulsion. Although widely theorized, experimental ...

The mechanism holding new ferroelectric semiconductors together produces a conductive pathway that could enable high power transistorsZetian Mi (left ...

A new study published in Nature Communications April 7 could reshape the future of magnetic and electronic technology.

Quasicrystals are intriguing materials with long-range atomic order that lack periodicity. It has been a longstanding question whether antiferromagnetism, while commonly found in regular crystals, is ...

Oxygen is also far more abundant than fluorine, chlorine or the myriad electron acceptors used in other forms of respiration. Despite its proclivity for forming compounds with other atoms ...
