Domains on a roll
Since the discovery of ferroelectricity 100 years ago, ferroelectric materials have made their way into numerous applications that exploit their superior dielectric properties, their ability to deform under applied electric field, their sensitivity to mechanical...
A new platform for controlled design of printed electronics with 2D materials
LCN researcher Dr Felice Torrisi with Politecnico di Torino researchers reveals the physical mechanisms responsible for the transport of electricity in printed two-dimensional (2D) materials. The work identifies what properties of 2D material films need to be tweaked...
Sharpest images ever reveal the patchy face of living bacteria
The sharpest images ever of living bacteria have been recorded by LCN researchers, revealing the complex architecture of the protective layer that surrounds many bacteria and makes them harder to be killed by antibiotics The study, published this week in Proceedings...
Unique features in the optical properties in 2D materials
LCN Researcher Dr Johannes Lischner along with Researchers from Heriot-Watt University and the National Institute for Materials Science have published a new paper on 2D materials. They studied the optical properties of twisted bilayers and observed energy steps called...
