Discovery unravels how atomic vibrations emerge in nanomaterials

A hundred years of physics tells us that collective atomic vibrations, called phonons, can behave like particles or waves. When they hit an interface between two materials, they can bounce off like a tennis ball. If the materials are thin and repeating, as in a superlattice, the phonons can jump between successive materials. Now there is definitive, experimental proof that at the nanoscale, the notion of multiple thin materials with distinct vibrations no longer holds. If the materials are thin, their atoms arrange identically, so that their vibrations are similar and present everywhere. Such structural and vibrational coherency opens new avenues in materials design, which will lead to more energy efficient, low-power devices, novel material solutions to recycle and convert waste heat to electricity, and new ways to manipulate light with heat for advanced computing to power 6G wireless communication.

The market value has evaporated by 250 billion, Haidilao boss tortures human nature, where does the capital go?

Financial crocodile Soros famously said: "The history of the world economy is a series based on illusions and lies. To gain wealth, the way is to recognize the illusion, invest in it, and then quit the game before the illusion is recognized by the public." In just four months, the market value has dropped from more than 450 billion Hong Kong dollars in February this year to less than 200 billion Hong Kong dollars today. The performance of Haidilao (06862.HK) has made investors deeply appreciate Soros’ words. It also puts the underlying logic to the test.

Haidilao is not delicious? On June 25th, the topic of #张勇’sreplying Haidilao’s bad food# directly rushed to the top of Weibo’s hot search. The reason is this.  Some consumers on t

"Shraddha Walkar Case Forced Break Up": Actor Tunisha Sharma's Boyfriend

  Sheezan Khan has also reportedly said that Tunisha Sharma had attempted suicide earlier as well, after they broke up. Mumbai:  Sheezan Khan, main accused in TV actor Tunisha Sharma's alleged suicide, was "so disturbed by the atmosphere in the country that emerged after the gruesome murder of Shraddha Walkar" that he decided to end their relationship, he told the police, according to news agency ANI. During his first day in police custody, Sheezan Khan told Maharashtra police that he ended his relationship with Tunisha Sharma after seeing repercussions from the Shraddha Walkar case, and told her that belonging to a different community stands in their way, as did their age gap, ANI reported. Sheezan is 28, and Tunisha was 20. No suicide note was recovered at the spot by the police. Shraddha Walkar was murdered by her live-in boyfriend Aaftab Poonawala at their Delhi apartment, her body chopped into pieces and thrown at several places to hide evidence. The case triggered a
