The material offers a window into how the physical properties of quantum solids, such as light transmission, electrical conduction, or response to a magnetic field, relate to the underlying geometry ...

The chemical composition of a material alone sometimes reveals little about its properties. The decisive factor is often the arrangement of the molecules in the atomic lattice structure or on the ...

Alloying, the art of blending metals with other elements, has long been a cornerstone of materials science and metallurgy, creating materials with tailored properties. In contrast, dealloying has been ...
