A combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experiments is used to
shed light on the relation between surface structure and Li-ion storage capacities of the …

Quasi-one-dimensional water encapsulated inside single-walled carbon nanotubes, here
referred to as nanotube water, was studied by neutron scattering. The results reveal an …

Phagocytosis and degradation of photoreceptor outer segments (POS) by retinal pigment
epithelium (RPE) is fundamental to vision. Autophagy is also responsible for bulk degradation …

In two-dimensional honeycomb ferromagnets, bosonic magnon quasiparticles (spin waves)
may either behave as massless Dirac fermions or form topologically protected edge states. …

Herein we show that hydrazine intercalation into 2D titanium carbide (Ti3C2-based MXene)
results in changes in its surface chemistry by decreasing the amounts of fluorine, OH surface …

The search for topological spin excitations in recently discovered two-dimensional (2D) van
der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials is important because of their potential applications in …

It has long been hoped that spin liquid states might be observed in materials that realize the
triangular-lattice Hubbard model. However, weak spin–orbit coupling and other small …

Using neutron scattering and ab initio simulations, we document the discovery of a new “quantum
tunneling state” of the water molecule confined in 5 Å channels in the mineral beryl, …

The Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory now hosts four direct
geometry time-of-flight chopper spectrometers. These instruments cover a range of wave-vector …

Recently, Co-based honeycomb magnets have been proposed as promising candidate
materials to host the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) state. One of the front-runners is BaCo 2 (AsO 4 ) 2 (…
