In one of the most memorable interviews of my career thus far, I was at my desk, head in my hands, talking on the phone to a physicist about extra dimensions. I was trying to understand what it means ...

The book Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott explores the concept of physical dimensions through characters who encounter higher-dimensional beings. The protagonist, “A. Square,” ...

When you drill down into the very fabric of reality—where elementary particles make up the matter that is you and me and everything around us in three-dimensional space—things get divided nicely into ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron behavior. Using advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques, they ...

In collaboration with international partners, researchers at the University of Stuttgart have experimentally demonstrated a previously unknown form of magnetism in atomically thin material layers. The ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that atomic-scale substitutional dopants in ultra-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials can act as stable quantum systems ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

Abstract: This paper presents a two-dimensional (2D) wide-angle scanning phased array based on a pattern reconfigurable two-element subarray. The two-element subarray design method enables flexible 1D ...

A multi-institute team led by Professors Ling Qiu, Baofu Ding and Hui-Ming Cheng has unveiled a two-dimensional titanium-dioxide sunscreen platform that erases the century-old trade-off between safety ...

With the incessant down-scaling of electronics, traditional semiconductors like Si are encountered with insurmountable hurdles to maintain performance increase without bringing about additional issues ...
