Twisted van der Waals materials as a new platform to realize exotic matter
In this article from phys.org a perspective on the potential of twisted van der Waals materials for realizing novel and elusive states of matter and providing a unique materials-based quantum simulation platform is described.
When predictions of theoretical chemists become reality (TUD Press release at Phys.Org, 22.05.2020)
In a Nature Materials News and Views article, "Making 2-D Topological Polymers a reality", Prof. Heine describes how his theoretical predictions made in 2019 about topological 2-D polymers became an experimental reality recently.
Priority Programme “2D Materials – Physics of van der Waals [hetero]structures (2DMP)” (SPP 2244) established (DFG Press release, Information für die Wissenschaft Nr. 39, 07.06.2019)
In 2019 the Senate of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) established the Priority Programme “2D Materials – Physics of van der Waals [hetero]structures (2DMP)” (SPP 2244).
