Physicists predict novel phenomena in exotic materials
more »
Discovered just five years ago, topological semimetals are materials with unusual physical properties that could make them useful for future electronics. Researchers report a new theoretical characterization of topological semimetals' electrical properties that accurately describes all known topological semimetals and predicts several new ones.

New low-defect method to nitrogen dope graphene resulting in tunable bandstructure
more »
Scientists have demonstrated hyperthermal ion implantation (HyTII) as an effective means of substitutionally doping graphene, resulting in a low-defect film with a tunable bandstructure amenable to a variety of device platforms and applications.

Pluto as a cosmic lava lamp: Giant convective cells continually refresh dwarf planet's icy heart

Using computer models, New Horizons team members have been able to determine the depth of the layer of solid nitrogen ice within Pluto's distinctive 'heart' feature -- a large plain informally known as Sputnik Planum -- and how fast that ice is flowing.
