An observation in Bar-Ilan yielded surprising results in the field of material conductivity

  • No comments
An experiment conducted in the physics department at Bar-Ilan, in the research group of Prof. Bina Kalisky, using a unique sensor developed by the researchers, documented a phenomenon that breaks conventions in the field of the transition of a material from a conductor to an insulator. The observation of the sensitive instrument showed that if you look very closely, you discover that a law that is considered universal ceases to exist

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have created an electrical memory only two atoms thick

  • One response
The research deals with a two-dimensional material, a single atom thick layer of boron and nitrogen atoms arranged in a cyclic hexagonal structure. During the experiment the researchers were able to break the symmetry of this crystal by artificially assembling two such layers

"Surprising results": research reveals for the first time what happens at the end of the crack

  • No comments
This research, recently carried out by Prof. Jay Feinberg and Neri Berman from the Rekh Institute of Physics, was published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters. The study revealed, for the first time, the behavior in the immediate vicinity of the crack tip. In fact, this is the first time in the world that this tiny region, where material breaking occurs, has been observed in a laboratory experiment

The Innovation Authority has recently accelerated the issuance of the calling voices intended for academia and the high-tech industry. Here is what they published last month:
Tracking the exact locations of the edge states allowed scientists to construct spatial maps of the local twist angles with unprecedented resolution and accuracy. These maps reveal a complex landscape pattern of valleys, peaks and saddle points
