Breakthrough Enables Engineering of Materials for Quantum Tech

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, have developed a method to control phonon properties by adjusting twist angles between layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials. This breakthrough could pave the way for engineering materials vital for photonic, quantum and electronic applications.Phonons are energy waves travelling through a crystal lattice when atoms vibrate, much like ripples forming in a pond. Their properties are crucial for developing optoelectronics and tunable photonic devices. Controlling these properties has been a major research focus.The study, publi..
