Monash shows disorder can boost ultra-thin optical materials in April 10 breakthrough
Monash University researchers reported a new class of disordered mosaic metasurfaces on April 10, 2026, arguing that controlled disorder can increase the functional density of ultra-thin optical materials rather than degrade them.
Graphene-sealed imaging opens a new route to studying air-sensitive 2D materials
A Manchester-led team has used graphene encapsulation to capture the first atomic-resolution images of monolayer transition metal diiodides, a reactive 2D material class that normally degrades within seconds of air exposure.
Researchers Map Quasicrystal Formation in a Day in Advance Materials Discovery Push
Scientists reported a rapid mathematical method that can map complex phase diagrams in as little as a day, a development that could speed the search for advanced materials with unusual crystal structures.
