Electrons whizzing through the kagome metal Fe3Sn2 are influenced by the proximity of a flat band (shown by the reflection of the top ball on a flat surface). This causes the electronic charge to be fractionalized or split (shown here by the appearance of the lower ball). Researchers have now observed this effect spectroscopically. Credit: […]
This is how it looks in practice: The different rotational directions of the various “dumbbells” indicate that the atoms lie in different planes. Credit: Physical Review A (2024). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.109.033304 For more than a decade it has been possible for physicists to accurately measure the location of individual atoms to a precision smaller than one-thousandth […]

The decline, a sharp departure from the previous three years of consecutive growth, stemmed from a slowdown in end-demand, coupled with a broad-based inventory correction. Softening memory and logic sector demand led to a decline in orders for 12-inch wafers, while weakening foundry and analogue uptake accounted for a drop in shipments of 8-inch wafers. […]
Following the >40% rise between 2017 and 2021, RAN revenues stabilised in 2022, and are on target to decline sharply in 2023. Market conditions are expected to remain challenging in 2024 as the Indian RAN market pulls back, though the pace of the global decline this year and for the remainder of the forecast period […]
The Sphere is all about entertainment. The entertainment incorporates numerous special effects, including infrasonics and haptics, to create 4D environments. In this case, “D” doesn’t refer to a physical dimension; it refers to additional sensory inputs beyond audio and visual. This FAQ reviews the use of moving magnet linear motors and class D drivers and […]
