What happens when a quantum physicist is frustrated by the limitations of quantum mechanics when trying to study densely ...

One of the tricks that researchers have used for a while now consists in reducing the motional energy of the electrons by artificially creating a crystal lattice with a large lattice constant ...

Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...

Recent experiments in circuit quantum electrodynamics and electric circuit networks have demonstrated the coherent propagation of wave-like excitations on hyperbolic lattices. The negative curvature ...

In 3D lattices, however, few structures allow high elastic compression and tunable deformation. This is especially true for auxetic material designs, such as the prototypical re-entrant honeycomb with ...
