Two-dimensional materials are substances with a thickness of a few nanometres or less. Electrons in these materials are free to move in the two-dimensional plane, but their restricted motion in the ...

Twisting atomically thin magnetic layers does more than reshape their electronics—it can create giant, topological magnetic textures. In chromium triiodide, researchers observed skyrmion-like patterns ...

Atom tamers Top left: Schematic of how a metasurface shapes a single beam of light into multiple tightly focused beams in a single step. These beams form a series of optical tweezers to trap ...
