A team of researchers has identified atomic distortions that may be linked with high-temperature superconductivity in a ...

A new breakthrough is transforming MXenes—ultra-thin, high-tech materials—into something far more powerful and precise.

Some materials behave unexpectedly. They crack differently than expected, or react in ways that are hard to explain. The ...

Researchers at UNIST, in collaboration with the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) and KAIST, have introduced a novel ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Researchers have developed and demonstrated a technique that allows them to engineer a class of materials called layered hybrid perovskites (LHPs) down to the atomic level, which dictates precisely ...

The process comprises a surface nitrogenation step via N + ion bombardment, followed by O 2 plasma treatment to form volatile etching byproducts. This approach enables subatomic-level etching ...

Predictive modeling and atomic-scale control are reducing development time for advanced materials, also increasing precision, functionality, and efficiency.

An introductory course focused on the new and existing materials that are crucial for mitigating worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and associated greenhouse gases. Emphasis will be placed on how ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) At the scale of individual atoms, materials behave in ways that defy everyday intuition. Stretch a metal wire by a few micrometers and its resistance changes only slightly.
