A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation. The ...

In the iconic "Sound of Music" score, "My Favorite Things," a young Julie Andrews lists snowflakes as objects that bring her ...

Honeycombs are marvels of engineering—the bees that create them will work together to build intricate hexagonal structures, which store the insects’ honey and house their young. But scientists still ...

Scientists uncovered rare hexagonal silicon forms (2H, 4H, 6H) created by stress and heat, challenging assumptions about this key electronic material. This is not the first time hexagonal silicon has ...

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the solar system, after Jupiter. Saturn is a gas giant and its radius is some nine times that of Earth. The most striking feature of ...
