A collaborative group of researchers has potentially developed a means of controlling spin waves by creating a hexagonal pattern of copper disks on a magnetic insulator. The breakthrough is expected ...

For a long time, scientists associated crystal structures with an ordered arrangement of atoms in a repeating lattice-like pattern, believing it to be the most stable configuration. However, by the ...

A team of physicists, materials scientists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in China, working with a colleague from Umeå University, in Sweden, has grown a diamond that is harder ...

This paper investigates pattern formation resulting from the interaction between steady modes with wavenumbers in the ratio 1: 2. A two-layered Rayleigh-Bénard problem with infinite extent is examined ...

A team including physicists from the University of Basel has succeeded in using atomic force microscopy to obtain clear images of individual impurity atoms in graphene ribbons. Thanks to the forces ...

An illustration of the two-dimensional magnonic crystal developed in this study, viewed from an oblique angle. Copper disks are periodically arranged on a magnetic garnet film. A collaborative group ...
