Sustainable material reduces risk of damage to devices due to electrostatic discharge Sensitive electronic devices, such as chips and semiconductors, are highly valuable and need to be boxed in special packaging to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. They are present in our everyday lives, on computers, cell phones, TVs and even cars. Researchers at the…

Garrat Abstract In order to form functional filaments, human septins must assemble into hetero-oligomeric rod-like particles which polymerize end-to-end. The rules…
F. Crasto de Lima and A. Fazzio A material’s geometric structure is a fundamental part of its properties. The honeycomb geometry of graphene is responsible for its Dirac cone, while kagome and Lieb lattices host flat bands and pseudospin-1 Dirac dispersion. These features seem to be particular to a few 2D systems rather than a…
