This study reports the discovery of electrically driven, room-temperature, nonvolatile multistage metastable states in the bulk moiré superstructure of EuTe, characterized by suppressed charge density wave amplitudes and offering a promising platform for high-temperature multi-bit memory applications.
This study demonstrates that ultrafast optical excitation in a WS/CrGeTe van der Waals heterostructure induces an opposite-sign magnetic torque compared to isolated films, driven by interface charge transfer altering magnetic anisotropy and spin current injection, thereby enabling new pathways for ultrafast magnetization manipulation.
This study reports the discovery of naturally occurring graphene sheets and carbon-rich micro-oval structures within Indian stingless bee hives, characterized by multi-technique analysis and notable for exhibiting a debut of blue photoluminescence emission.
This review establishes a unified thermodynamic and kinetic framework linking crystal growth conditions to defect populations, phase stability, and microstructure in transition metal dichalcogenides, demonstrating that synthesis is a fundamental parameter for deterministically controlling emergent quantum electronic phases.
This study demonstrates that strong electronic excitation drives a universal crossover in transition metals toward close-packed phases (primarily fcc) by leveraging electronic entropy as a fundamental thermodynamic control parameter that overrides ground-state structural specificity through demagnetization, phonon hardening, and the generation of hot-electron thermal pressure.
This paper demonstrates that micrometer-sized pores with graphene-wrapped, rippled rims exhibit robust, ion-selective memristive behavior and synaptic plasticity, overcoming traditional size limitations to enable scalable, stable ionic neuromorphic circuits capable of high-fidelity information processing and image recognition.
This study establishes Pd2ZrIn as a weakly coupled, dirty-limit, type-II superconductor with a fully gapped, nodeless s-wave order parameter and preserved time-reversal symmetry, based on comprehensive muon spin relaxation and rotation measurements alongside electrical and magnetic characterization.
This study presents an integrated experimental-computational protocol combining inflation testing with 3D digital image correlation and finite element analysis to quantify full-field corneal strain and derive constitutive parameters, thereby enabling precise assessment of biomechanical changes induced by cross-linking and laser refractive surgery.
This Perspective article outlines the potential of magnetic domain walls as a scalable platform for universal quantum computing, highlighting their dual role as stationary and flying qubits, identifying promising material platforms, and discussing the key requirements, challenges, and future experiments needed to advance this emerging field at the intersection of magnetism and quantum information science.
Using a newly developed electrical-pulse-pump ultrafast transmission electron microscope, this study reveals that electric-field-induced Poole-Frenkel emission, rather than Joule heating, drives deterministic insulator-to-metal transitions in vanadium dioxide by enabling reconfigurable conduction topologies and period-doubling phase dynamics, thereby establishing a framework for designing ultrafast, low-energy adaptive electronic devices.
