New research paves way for the nanoscale self-assembly of organic building blocks, a promising new route towards the next generation of ultra-small electronic devices. New research paves way for the ...

Carbon and silicon pentagonal low-dimensional structures attract a great interest as they may lead to new exotic phenomena such as topologically protected phases or increased spin–orbit effects.

Two years ago the mathematical world was abuzz about the discovery of a 15th tiling of the plane by convex pentagons (I wrote about it here). Still the question remains: are these the only ones or are ...

They say that no two snowflakes are the same, but like all natural ice crystals they are only variations on the same six-sided theme. Now physicists have found the first evidence of pentagonal ice ...

Beautiful vistas aren’t the only treat awaiting hikers in Oslo’s Nordmarka forest — a Snøhetta-designed cabin has recently been added near one of the city’s most stunning viewpoints and can be booked ...

New research paves way for the nanoscale self-assembly of organic building blocks, a promising new route towards the next generation of ultra-small electronic devices. Ring-like molecules with unusual ...
