Selective Growth of graphene films on gallium-focused ion beam irradiated domains
Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice to form a two-dimensional lattice, is a very interesting material with promising electronic, optical, chemical, and mechanical applicative potential [Geim and Novoselov, Nat. Mater. 6, …

Floquet Control of Optomechanical Bistability in Multimode Systems
Dynamical interactions famously provide a means to induce distinct steady states. In this respect, nanomechanical resonators are particularly interesting because they can be described by a double-well potential where their motions are amplified and subsequently cool down to a …

Coherent light reveals universal behavior
Universality is a powerful concept in statistical physics that allows understanding critical phenomena and describing them effectively on the basis of a few fundamental ingredients. Systems as different as crystalline surfaces, frost on a window or modern urban skylines …
