Materials scientists who work with nano-sized components have developed ways of working with their vanishingly small materials. But what if you could get your components…
New research reveals possible applications of nickel, from data storage to biosensors. When scientists and engineers discover new ways to optimize existing materials, it paves…
Local distortions in the surface push electrons close to defects. Only the combination of defects and strain can explain the new kind of quantum light.…
The gold tip is moved across the surface of the topological insulator and experiences energy loss only at discrete, quantized energies. This is related to…
An illustration shows how edges are connected at the corners of a borophene flake. Materials scientists led by Rice University have predicted that the shape…
An element-specific, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) image of the atoms in a new material developed by Yale University in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory.…
Artistic depiction of a coin cell battery with a copper electrode (left) containing a black nanochain structure, which researchers have discovered could increase the capacity…
