Drug addiction can remodel mouse DNA and chromosomal
material in predictable ways, leaving «signatures,» or signs of the remodeling, over time.
But
in both cases, the ratio was affected
in a
predictable way, meaning that the researchers could tune the
material's thermal conductivity and thermal anisotropy ratio.
The
material — known as 1T» - WTe2 — bridges two flourishing fields of research: that of so - called 2 - D
materials, which include monolayer
materials such as graphene that behave
in different
ways than their thicker forms; and topological
materials,
in which electrons can zip around
in predictable ways with next to no resistance and regardless of defects that would ordinarily impede their movement.
