The perfect hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells — once thought to be an incredible feat of math-savvy insects — has now been explained by simple mechanics. Scientists have marveled at the angular ...

Research on graphene has revealed remarkable phenomena arising in the honeycomb lattice. However, the quantum spin Hall effect predicted at the K point could not be observed in graphene and other ...

Natural honeycomb structures occur in many different environments, from beehives to honeycomb weathering in rocks. Based on these, man-made honeycomb structures have been built with similar geometry ...
