The research team, led by A/Prof. Chen Li from the State Key Laboratory of Robotics and System (HIT), Harbin Institute of Technology, China, has shown the anisotropy dependence of the damage evolution ...

A spin liquid is a special state of matter that arises in certain magnetic materials at very low temperatures. Despite its name, it doesn't have anything to do with liquids in the everyday sense.

Copper-oxide (CuO 2) superconductors, such as Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ (Bi2212), have unusually high critical temperatures. Optical reflectivity measurements of Bi2212 have shown that it exhibits strong ...

In general, when you measure material properties such as optical permittivity, your measurement doesn’t depend on the direction in which you make it. However, recent research has shown that this is ...

Vol. 376, No. 2113, Theme issue: From atomistic interfaces to dendritic patterns (28 February 2018), pp. 1-30 (30 pages) Motivated by important applications in materials science and geophysics, we ...

Birefringent crystalline materials are essential in advanced optical technologies such as isolators and modulators due to their ability to manipulate light polarization. However, designing ...

Magnetostriction and spin dynamics are fundamental properties of magnetic materials. Despite having been studied for decades, finding ...

What are Liquid Crystal Nanoparticles? Liquid crystal nanoparticles (LCNPs) are a unique class of nanomaterials that combine the properties of liquid crystals with the advantages of nanoparticles.
