A new imaging method that enables the light-induced phase transition in vanadium oxide (VO2) to be captured with high spatial and temporal resolution.
Researchers at Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin observed that when it comes to packing charge-acceptor molecules on the surface of semiconducting nanocrystals, more is really not better.
As semiconductor devices become ever smaller, researchers are exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials for potential applications in transistors and optoelectronics. Controlling the flow of electricity and heat through these materials is key to their functionality, but first we need to understand the details of those behaviors at atomic scales.
A team from the University of Minnesota showcased the effective utilization of hybrid molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for growing strontium titanate (SrTiO3) without damaging the graphene substrate.
A new study provided a new strategy to develop novel nanoscale DNA origami designs as freeform, oblique structures with novel geometries.
Did you know that silk fabric is made from … well, worm spit- The way that silkworms wind their cocoons from fibers in their slimy saliva is now helping scientists more easily make new biomedical materials.
A pressing quest in the field of nanoelectronics is the search for a material that could replace silicon. Graphene has seemed promising for decades.
Albemarle Lithium Pty Ltd has awarded Metso Outotec an order for two pyro processing and comminution lines for their Kemerton lithium hydroxide processing plant in Western Australia.
In new research published in Nature Communications, University of Sussex scientists demonstrate how a highly conductive paint coating that they have developed mimics the network spread of a virus through a process called 'explosive percolation' – a mathematical process which can also be applied to population growth, financial systems and computer networks, but which has not been seen before in materials systems.
A recent study describes the creation of a flexible electrochromic supercapacitor using transparent electrodes made from silver nanowires.
