…s containing about 20% Mo. Such a wide tuning range of the exciton g-factor has not been previously observed in these monolayers. Comparable values had earlier been achieved only in complex moiré heterostructures, which require precise alignment of stacked layers. “In our publication, we demonstrated that for transition metal dichalcogenide alloys, controlling the chemical composition of a monolayer is sufficient to achieve this goal,” explains Ka…

…Warsaw Psychological Support Center has been developing a wide range of support options, allowing each person to choose the form of contact best suited to their needs — anonymously, safely, and free of charge. As of January, the Center’s offer has been expanded, at the initiative of the University of Warsaw Student Council to include a new form of contact: the UW Support Chat.   When things feel more difficult January can be a particularly challe…

…their masses could be larger (even exceeding the range usually associated with planets) or smaller. Today, about a dozen such candidates are known. The least massive among them can have a mass as small as that of Mars. Nevertheless, despite being highly likely, the existence of free-floating planets had not yet been conclusively proven. No one had managed to directly measure the mass of such an object and confirm that it was truly a planet rather…

…perties depend more on geometry and how the orbitals are arranged. For instance, some cages like B₄₀ have large electronic gaps because of their compact and symmetrical shapes, while highly coordinated structures may be metallic or have smaller gaps. Therefore, the number of atomic connections serves as a unifying and predictive factor rather than a direct measure of electronic properties.   “The concept presented here serves as a guide for design…
