New study reveals exotic electronic crystals within graphene
TEC at ν = 1/4 of twisted bilayer–trilayer graphene. Credit: Nature (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-024-08239-6 Researchers from the University of British Columbia, the University of Washington, and Johns Hopkins University have identified a new type of quantum state in a custom-designed graphene structure. The study, published in the journal Nature, reports the discovery of topological electron crystals in twisted bilayer-trilayer graphene.…

Lattice QCD method suggests simpler spectra of exotic XYZ hadrons
This diagram shows the contours of a complex energy surface. Each color corresponds to a different pair of D mesons. Although their shapes are very different, they revolve around a common vertex. This means that there is a single resonance coupled to all three channels. Credit: Jefferson Lab Illustration/David Wilson The elusive particles that first formed in the hot, dense…
