New family of unusual quasiparticles discovered in graphene-based materials

[ad_1] Nov. 12 (UPI) – Scientists have discovered a new family of quasiparticles that defy textbook physics. The researchers found the particles, called Brown-Zak fermions, in graphene-based superlattices. Physicists spotted the particles and their strange behavior – described Friday in the journal Nature Communications – after lining a single layer …

Researchers decipher the Milky Way’s family tree

[ad_1] Astrophysicists have reconstructed the first complete family tree of the Milky Way by analyzing millions of stars. Scientists have long known that galaxies can grow from the merger of smaller galaxies, but until now the ancestry of our galaxy has been a mystery. Using artificial intelligence (AI) they analyzed …

Researchers decipher the Milky Way’s family tree

[ad_1] Astrophysicists used complex computer models powered by artificial intelligence to produce an ancestral family tree of the Milky Way. The research revealed that the Milky Way, when it was in its formation stages some 11 billion years ago, suffered its largest collision ever. Intergalactic collisions were common in our …

New family of quasiparticles in graphene-based materials: results to help reach the holy grail of 2D materials – superfast electronic devices –

[ad_1] A group of researchers led by Sir Andre Geim and Dr Alexey Berdyugin at the University of Manchester has discovered and characterized a new family of quasiparticles called “Brown-Zak fermions” in graphene-based super lattices. The team achieved this breakthrough by aligning the atomic lattice of a graphene layer with …
