“We all have a clear distinction in mind when we think of solid materials and granular matter. Solid materials are often described as crystalline lattices […]. These materials are made up of discrete ...

A new form of ice that acts as both a liquid and a solid simultaneously has been proven to exist years after it was theorized ...

Researchers have found that a two-dimensional carbon material is tougher than graphene and resists cracking—even the ...

RECENTLY, with the increase of the resolving power of the electron microscope, it has become possible to make a direct observation of a crystal lattice composed of large molecules. J. W.

Solid materials are often described as crystalline lattices […]. These materials are made up of discrete particles, free to move and slide relative to one another.” Although these new ...

Like graphene, MAC is also a 2D or single atom-thick material. But unlike graphene where atoms are arranged in an ordered ⎯ ...

The study identifies monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) as a breakthrough in material science, exhibiting superior toughness and potential for 2D applications.
