The exotic properties of 2D materials can be manipulated by stacking layers of these materials then modifying them by, for example, applying twists. Researchers have developed a novel microscopy technique to study twisted, layered 2D materials at high spatial resolution using interferometric four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM).

Un equipo de astrónomos consiguió capturar en imágenes los restos erosionados de más de un centenar de galaxias enanas que se están transformando en galaxias enanas ultra compactas, es decir, en objetos con masas mayores que la de los cúmulos estelares, pero mucho más pequeñas que las galaxias enanas. Los hallazgos fueron realizados utilizando el telescopio de Gemini Norte, la mitad boreal del Observatorio Gemini que opera NOIRLab de NSF y AURA, y confirman que muchas galaxias enanas ultra compactas son probablemente los fósiles de galaxias enanas normales cuyas capas exteriores se desprendieron.
