Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) is fundamental to many phenomena in solid-state physics. Two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures provide researchers with exquisite control over this ...

Understanding the magnetic interactions is of fundamental importance in condensed-matter physics as well as in the application of spintronic devices. In the past 13 years, the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya ...

Tesla TSLA CEO Elon Musk likes to keep reminding the world that he believes in designing everything from “first principles.” The idea is that a first principle is the most fundamental understanding of ...

This review paper published in AI & Materials explores the implementation of first-principles calculation method within high-entropy carbides ceramics (HECCs) research, specifically examining its role ...

What if the secret to solving the world’s most complex problems wasn’t about thinking bigger, but thinking smaller, breaking things down to their most basic truths? This is the power of first ...
