Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting materials have unique optoelectronic properties that have the potential to revolutionize the development of ultra-thin and tunable electronic components. However, despite their promising advantages over traditional bulk semiconductors, effectively integrating these materials with gate dielectrics has proven to be a challenging task. This has often resulted in the formation of interfacial traps

Twisted graphene layers have been studied extensively by RIKEN physicists, who have discovered that magnetic fields can engineer flat bands in these layers, creating a new space for exotic physics experiments. The unique properties of graphene, with its hexagonal lattice structure, allow for electrons to move through the material as if they have no mass.
The study conducted by researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science highlights the fascinating phenomenon of quantum entanglement between electronic and motional states in an ultrafast quantum simulator. While the original article does provide valuable insights into the experimental setup and findings, it lacks critical analysis and discussion on the implications of this research in
Recent research conducted by a team of scientists from Skoltech, Universitat Politècnica de València, Institute of Spectroscopy of RAS, University of Warsaw, and University of Iceland has shed light on the spontaneous formation and synchronization of multiple quantum vortices in optically excited semiconductor microcavities. The fascinating findings of this study have been published in Science
Taking a break from the monotony of the workday, I delved into the world of Witching Stone, a game that seamlessly combines the magic of shape-matching with the enchantment of sorcery. Scheduled for release on September 16th, this pixel art game is described as a fusion of puzzle games, roguelites, and deckbuilders, offering a fresh
As the Steam Space Exploration Fest approaches, gamers everywhere are gearing up for a week of intergalactic discounts and demo opportunities. From September 21st to the 29th, players will have the chance to explore a variety of space-themed games at discounted prices. The official trailer for the event offers a sneak peek at some of
Against The Storm’s latest expansion, Keepers Of The Stone, is set to introduce players to a whole new world of possibilities. The addition of frog people and a new biome, Coastal Groves, promises to bring a fresh and exciting gameplay experience to the table. With a release date of September 26th, players can look forward
Artificial intelligence researchers recently made headlines after discovering over 2,000 web links to suspected child sexual abuse imagery within a widely used dataset for training AI image-generator tools. The LAION dataset, which has been instrumental in the development of popular AI image-making tools, came under scrutiny when a report by the Stanford Internet Observatory revealed
The National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have made a groundbreaking achievement in simulating higher-order topological (HOT) lattices using digital quantum computers. This advancement in quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of advanced quantum materials and their applications in technology. The study of topological states of matter and their higher-order counterparts has
One time, I had the misfortune of “winning” a lackluster board game from Nickelodeon. The entire process of obtaining the prize was far from glamorous. In reality, I got disconnected while calling into a competition line after managing to get through. This led me to express my frustration loudly, prompting my mother to intervene and
