A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like ...

MIT physicists have created a new ultrathin, two-dimensional material with unusual magnetic properties that initially ...

In the special case of systems with rotational symmetry, these series reduce to the well-known generalized Laguerre polynomials. The theory is applicable to media such as helical gas lenses and ...

Yet, the function of these distant ESCRT homologs is mostly unresolved. Here we show that Asgard ESCRT-III proteins of the Lokiarcheota self-assemble into helical filaments, a hallmark of the ESCRT ...

Such stacking creates a helical structure similar to the DNA helix or a hand of three cards that are ... However, this type of magnetism should not have appeared because the material supposedly had a ...

In the current work, the helical structure created by the three ... But that magnetism can only occur in a system that lacks a specific symmetry—one that the team's new material should have ...
