Strain creates moiré 2D materials without twisting or stacking, opening more scalable route
Strain creates moiré 2D materials without twisting or stacking, opening more scalable route Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Cornell researchers have developed a new way to create moiré patterns—atomic-scale structures that can give materials unusual quantum behaviors—without relying on the traditionally used difficult-to-control twisting and stacking methods. The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Why moiré materials matter...
Twisted stacking lets 2D conductor keep single-layer performance in bulk form
Twisted stacking lets 2D conductor keep single-layer performance in bulk form Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are significantly thinner than a single sheet of paper, have long drawn attention for their exceptional performance. However, they have faced a critical limitation: Their performance degrades significantly when multiple layers are stacked. A research team led by Professor Sarah S. Park from the Department of Chemistry at...
California governor’s race is filled with plot twists
SACRAMENTO, California — The field vying to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom may lack star power, but the race itself has delivered no shortage of plot twists. After waiting in vain for a heavyweight candidate like former Vice President Kamala Harris or Sen. Alex Padilla, Democratic leaders began to panic over a nightmare scenario: so many Democrats splitting the vote that both leading Republicans, former Fox News host Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, could...

Ironic twist: Humayun offers Mamata route back to Bengal assembly
In a dramatic political twist, AJUP founder Humayun Kabir on Thursday offered former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee a route back to the state Assembly from Rejinagar, just months after breaking away from the Trinamool Congress and campaigning against her government. Kabir, who won both the Nowda and Rejinagar seats in Murshidabad district in the 2026 Assembly elections, said he was willing to vacate Rejinagar and support Banerjee's entry into the legislature through the ensuing...
Stanford quantum computing breakthrough uses twisted light to work without extreme cooling
A new room-temperature quantum device uses twisted light to entangle photons and electrons, overcoming one of the biggest hurdles in quantum technology. The breakthrough could pave the way for smaller, cheaper quantum systems with applications ranging from secure communications to future AI and computing platforms.
Twisted graphene reveals a hidden superconductivity switch
Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way to control superconductivity — the mysterious phenomenon where electricity flows with zero energy loss. By pairing twisted layers of graphene with a synthetic diamond material, researchers were able to effectively switch superconductivity on and off by tweaking how electrons interact with their surroundings. Even more intriguing, the material behaved in ways that defied the rules of conventional superconductors, hinting at an entirely new kind...

Twisted pet shelter scammers hurting dogs to con unsuspecting Brits out of cash WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT Scammers are swindling British animal lovers out of thousands by posting pitiful pictures of dogs from fake shelters to beg for cash Hundreds of social media accounts on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube - claiming to be fundraisers from pet shelters - are being operated from Mityana, a town in central Uganda. Open-source intelligence techniques (OSINT) were used to examine...
From oversight to coercion: How authoritarian governments are twisting AI safety to get tech companies to fall in line
From oversight to coercion: How authoritarian governments are twisting AI safety to get tech companies to fall in line Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor When researchers founded Anthropic in 2021, they said the race to build powerful AI was moving too recklessly. They inserted detailed safety measures into their products and marketed their commitment to safety as the corporate quality that distinguished them from competitors—notably OpenAI, the rival company they had...
Lewis Hamilton optimistic Ferrari can ‘be competitive’ in twisting Monaco track
Ferrari last won race at Mexican GP in 2024Scuderia’s car should suit narrow streets of Monte CarloLewis Hamilton was circumspect about Ferrari’s chances in the buildup to the Monaco Grand Prix but, on paper at least, this weekend is perhaps his best shot at a first victory for the Scuderia to end their win drought that stretches back to the Mexican GP of 2024.Mercedes have dominated the season thus far, with Kimi Antonelli leading the championship by 43 points from his teammate George...
