- 1Magnetic field shown to control nonlinear optics in 2D materials▼Magnetic field controls a third-order nonlinear optical property and laser-induced electron coherence in 2D materials
Researchers report that an external magnetic field can control a third-order nonlinear optical property and laser-induced electron coherence in two-dimensional materials. The finding points to new ways of manipulating light-matter interactions in atomically thin substances, with potential implications for optical and quantum technologies.

Researchers report in Nature a method for creating synthetic two-dimensional quantum materials by atomically weaving one-dimensional nanoribbons together. The approach opens a route to designed 2D lattices with tunable quantum properties, extending assembly beyond naturally occurring layered crystals. The work is drawing attention in the physics and materials science communities for its potential in quantum technologies and device engineering.

Researchers report that woven graphene ribbons can be assembled into a new class of two-dimensional quantum materials. The approach weaves nanoscale carbon ribbons into extended 2D structures, potentially opening routes to novel electronic and quantum properties beyond conventional graphene sheets. Details of the work, the teams involved and independent verification remain limited, so the scientific community's response is not yet clear.
