Edges

Vector magnetic imaging reveals perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at the edges of zigzag graphene nanoribbons embedded in hexagonal boron nitride

Rock in Earth's mantle flows like hot metal, and moves fastest under the edges of tectonic plates. Recent work from CNRS in France finds that adding stochasticity into models of mantle rock movement helps capture this flow rate variability to produce more realistic models of plate tectonics.

Weird physics at the edges of black holes may help resolve lingering 'Hubble trouble'

Edges cause cilia to quickly synchronize their beating pattern
