Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could ...

Electron–phonon interactions underpin a diverse range of phenomena in quantum many-body systems. These interactions, whereby electrons couple with lattice vibrations (phonons), are central to ...

What’s long been seen as a hindrance to electrical conduction in semiconductors may actually be an asset, at least in two-dimensional materials. The research team found that in atomically thin ...

Phonons, the quantum mechanical vibrations of atoms in solids, are often sources of noise in solid-state quantum systems, including quantum technologies, which can lead to decoherence and thus ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

Peking University, June 20, 2025: Gao Peng’s research group at the International Center for Quantum Materials, School of Physics, Peking University, has developed a breakthrough method for visualizing ...

This schematic illustrates how static disorder (defects and impurities) and dynamic disorder (phonon interactions) affect carrier dynamics in tin–lead alloyed perovskite nanocrystals. As temperature ...

In a recent article in Nature Materials, researchers explored a novel approach to boosting thermal transport across solid interfaces by activating hyperbolic phonon-polariton (HPhP) modes in hexagonal ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors. (Nanowerk News) A condition long considered to be ...
