Researchers led by Shengxi Huang at Rice University investigated the behavior of polarons, a type of quasiparticle, in the nanomaterial tellurene. They found that as tellurene’s thickness decreases to ...

Using state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) simulations, they showed that when a single layer of the semiconductor ...

(Nanowerk News) Ever since its discovery in 2004, graphene – an atomically thin material with amazing strength and electrical properties – has inspired scientists around the world to design new 2D ...

Flat materials that can morph into three-dimensional shapes have potential applications in architecture, medicine, robotics, space travel, and much more. But programming these shape changes requires ...

The following text will discuss the different theoretical and mathematical principles working behind geometry processing. It will also discuss how they are applied to different purposes while ...
