A team partially replaced lithium in a lithium antimonide compound with the metal scandium. This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material. These ...

A Princeton team uncovered a surprising chiral quantum state in a supposedly non-chiral material, shedding light on elusive ...

Controlling the topology and structure of entangled molecular strands is a key challenge in molecular engineering, ...

Chirality—the property of an object that is distinct from its mirror image—has long captivated scientists across biology, ...

Crucially, these modulations strictly correspond to the crystal lattice structure, with maxima and minima precisely located at the crystallographic positions of the chalcogen atoms, revealing the ...
