In a review just published in Nature Materials, researchers take aim at the oldest principle in electronics: Ohm's law.

All the latest science news on inversion symmetry from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

To break the inversion symmetry, the team placed a vanadium oxide (VO2) wire underneath a sheet of MoS2. Molybdenum disulfide is a flexible material, Shi said, ...

Novel computational models have shed light on how inversion symmetry—where the frequency of a nucleotide sequence equates to that of its reverse complement—can be quantitatively analysed [2].

Although this inversion-symmetry-breaking structure can impact electronic measurements, we show from its insensitivity to temperature, magnetic field and doping, ...

Microscopic aspects of ferroelectricity are canonically related to polar atomic displacements that break inversion symmetry of the crystal, leading to a non-zero net electric dipole moment.

The researchers demonstrate all-dielectric photonic crystal (PhC) slabs without in-plane inversion symmetry (C2 symmetry) could separate and route valley exciton emission of a WS2 monolayer at ...

Up until now, research on superconductivity with broken spatial inversion symmetry has mostly focused on compounds that contain a relatively heavy element M, such as rhodium (Rh), iridium (Ir), ...

The idea of time inversion has a lot going for it and now that we’ve delved into the concept a bit before the movie, we hope we’ll actually understand it. Christopher Nolan’s movie is ...

Breaking inversion symmetry in materials allows deviations from Ohms law, enabling nonlinear effects that could drive future ...
