In a recent study, researchers made a significant observation of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition ...

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material ...

2D shapes can be described by their sides, their angles and their symmetry. The sides might be equal in length and some might be parallel. The angles could be right angles, but sometimes they are ...

An international team of physicists has made a significant observation of the BKT phase transition in a 2D dipolar gas of ultracold atoms. This groundbreaking work marks a major milestone in ...

As the clouds clear on computational crystal structure prediction, is the technique ready to empower mainstream materials ...

Crows can recognize geometric patterns, suggesting that humans aren't unique in understanding shape structure.

Mathematicians’ Favorite Shapes Hold the Key to Big Mathematical Mysteries ...
