There is considerable excitement about graphene-based biosensors. In particular, the material’s unique structure and electronic properties offers great potential for rapid, reliable DNA/RNA sensing and sequencing. To date, this potential has been checked by a lack of fundamental understanding of graphene−nucleobase interactions and the origin of measured molecular fingerprints. A recent study has defined key interactions as DNA/RNA nucleobases are …

The electronic properties of materials are determined by the atomic constituents and their crystal lattice structure. Engineered electronic materials, which are created by applying a designed spatially periodic potential, a superlattice, have offered a powerful way to alter the properties of natural crystals in a controlled manner. Imposing spatially periodic electric field via nanolithography has also been proven to be …
Viscous effects in electronic systems typically arise from vorticity at the boundaries of the 2D system. This limits the contribution of the viscous dissipation to the total dissipation of the system, making the viscous effect challenging to measure. In our work, we use a periodic array of micromagnets to create vorticity – and thus viscous dissipation – across the entire …

Oscillation effects in crystals have been studied since the 1930s, when it was observed that a metal’s magnetisation and resistance are periodic in the inverse magnetic field. Typically, the oscillation frequency corresponds to the area of a closed cross-section of the Fermi surface, these are Onsager oscillations. We show that oscillations arise, in equilibrium, which do not correspond to any …

A collaboration of FLEET researchers from the University of Wollongong and Monash University have reviewed the superconducting diode effect, one of the most fascinating phenomena recently discovered in quantum condensed-matter physics. A superconducting diode enables dissipationless supercurrent to flow in only one direction, and provides new functionalities for superconducting circuits. This non-dissipative circuit element is key to future ultra-low energy …
The Challenge Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are consumer electronics that play a crucial role in our daily life-from a mobile phone to LED billboards, LEDs are ubiquitous. There are, however, delicate components sitting inside each LED unit that need to be protected in a dry and oxygen free environment. The lifespan of typical LEDs …

Mechanical friction leads to wear and energy dissipation, and its control is of high importance in new-generation miniature electromechanical devices. 2D materials such as graphene are considered to be excellent solid lubricants due to their ultralow friction and have attracted considerable research interest. Unique friction properties are discovered in various other 2D materials. However, the friction of functional van der …
Päivi Törmä, Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University, Finland Catch up on YouTube We have found that superconductivity and superfluidity have a connection to quantum geometry [1,2]. Namely, the superfluid weight in a multiband system has a previously unnoticed component which we call the geometric contribution. It is proportional to the minimal quantum metric of the band. Quantum metric is …
