[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...

Researchers have discovered an unexpected superconducting transition in extremely thin films of niobium diselenide (NbSe 2). Publishing in Nature Communications, they found that when these films ...

It is an exotic phenomenon that nobody was able to explain for years: when energy is supplied to a thin layer of the material tungsten diselenide, it begins to glow in a highly unusual fashion. In ...

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) and collaborators have discovered a new way to control superconductivity—an essential phenomenon for developing more ...

In a remarkable geological find in Italy, a delicate clay layer was uncovered, marked by unusually high levels of iridium—a rare element on our planet but frequently found in meteorites. This ...

The secret to a perfect croissant is the layers—as many as possible, each one interspersed with butter. Similarly, a new material with promise for new applications is made of many extremely thin ...
