Graphene changes elastic properties depending on applied force

A group of scientists, including specialists from Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITF), has described a universal characteristic in which many unique graphene properties are "hidden." Abnormal graphene behavior ...

Unique protein is a vulnerability in the malaria parasite

The malaria parasite is highly dependent on a unique protein for infecting new mosquitoes. This protein could be a target for the development of new drugs. It was discovered recently by researchers from Radboud university ...

Building crystals on a very hot surface

A KAUST chemical reactor that operates at extremely high temperatures could improve the efficiency and economy of a commonly used process in the semiconductor industry, with benefits for Saudi Arabia's chemical industry.

Writing and deleting magnets with lasers

Scientists at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) together with colleagues from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) and the University of Virginia have found a way to write and delete magnets in an alloy using ...

Charge density wave inhomogeneity and pseudogap in 1T-TiSe2

1T-TiSe2 has been widely studied in the past few decades as one of the typical charge density wave (CDW) materials. Recently, superconductivity was realized in this system through Cu intercalation, pressure or electric gating, ...
