      <description>arXiv: Transition-metal trichalcogenides MX₃ are quasi-one-dimensional van der Waals materials whose layers form through lateral chain binding, giving them an interlayer cleavage plane and in-plane electronic anisotropy. Among them, ZrSe₃ is stable under ambient conditions and semiconducting. Exfoliated crystals expose four…</description>

      <description>arXiv: The Charge Density Wave (CDW) state is a perfect example of a combined structural and electronic state, both characterized by a periodic lattice distortion and an electronic modulation of condensed electrons, resulting from electron-phonon coupling. They are thus prone to be tuned by lattice strain. NbSe3 is a…</description>

      <description>arXiv: We report on the bulk multiband superconductivity and charge density wave (CDW) in HfxZr1-xTe3 single crystals. The parent compound ZrTe3 is a layered van der Waals material that undergoes a CDW transition near 63 K and exhibits only filamentary superconductivity below 2.0 K. Upon the introduction of a small amount of…</description>

      <description>arXiv: In their Letter Fujiwara et al. (10.48550/arXiv.2511.09888. 2025) report a high-quality experiment demonstrating the synchronization of the CDW sliding in NbSe3 whiskers (nanowires) with surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The SAWs are induced in the conventional LiNbO3 piezoelectric substrates through application of rf…</description>

      <description>arXiv: One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures of transition metal trichalcogenides (TMT) show unique properties through the combination of their anisotropic bonding and low dimensionality. Scalable synthesis approaches that enable control over the morphology, dimensions, and interfaces of 1D TMTs with other nanoscale materials…</description>

      <description>arXiv: Defects in atomically thin van der Waals materials have recently been investigated as sources of spin-photon entanglement with sensitivity to strain tuning. Unlike many two-dimensional materials, quasi-one-dimensional materials such as transition metal trichalcogenides exhibit in-plane anisotropy resulting in…</description>

      <description>arXiv: We report the synthesis of high-quality 2H-TaS2 nanowires via a controlled two-step conversion process from TaS3 precursors, achieving robust superconductivity with a transition temperature Tc ~ 3.6 K which is significantly higher than bulk 2H-TaS2 (Tc ~ 0.8 K). Structural and compositional analyses confirm phase…</description>
