      Stanislaw Galeski, HLD and HFML-FELIX. The ability to transport heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. In most materials, at room temperature transport is well understood. Things, however, are not as straightforward under extreme conditions such as temperatures close to absolute zero or [...]

            Raj Pandya, University of Warwick, UK, Chris Howard, University College London, UK, Peter Christianen, HFML-FELIX Nijmegen. For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that phosphorene nanoribbons – thin pieces of black phosphorus, only a few nanometers wide (figure 1, bottom) – exhibit both magnetic and semiconducting properties at room temperature.

              Toni Helm, HLD. Superhydrides are metallic hydride compounds that exhibit superconductivity (SC) under mega-bar pressure at extraordinarily high temperatures. The observation of superconducting critical temperatures, Tc, as high as 250 K has revived scientists' dream of room-temperature superconductivity. While current research has focused on pushing Tc even higher, room-temperature applications [...]

                      Sergei Zvyagin, HLD. The importance of attractive forces, stabilizing multi-particle bound states in condensed matter is generally accepted. By contrast, multiparticle bound states stabilized by means of repulsive forces were long thought to be only theoretical constructions, due to the strong dissipative channels present in real materials. Recently, Zhe Wang [...]
