Researchers used a combined atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) technique, to prepare lithium terephthalate, a recently found anode material for a…
“This is a fundamentally new method for trapping multiple particles in solution,” said Charles M. Schroeder, a U. of I. professor of chemical and biomolecular…
You might not be aware of it, but invisible carpets of polymers are keeping things from being sticky right now. The lenses of your glasses might be coated with…
Many everyday products and our environment contain nanoparticles, and there is increasing interest in finding them. The particles and their sizes are commonly…
The research by engineers from Brown University shows that graphene, wrinkled and crumpled in a multi-step process, becomes significantly better at repelling…
Now, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated a…
A team led by Olga Ovchinnikova of ORNL's Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences Division used a helium ion microscope, an atomic-scale “sandblaster,” on a…
Although one might think that when there is an electric current in a metal, the electrons flow like water would in a pipe, that is actually not the case. Their…
Leonardo da Vinci's oil painting “Mona Lisa” looks rather gloomy with its dark green and brown colours. It is a little-known fact that the maestro painted the…
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have combined advanced in-situ microscopy and theoretical calculations to uncover…
The researchers present their work today at the 251st National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS). ACS, the world's largest scientific…
While solar cells made from light-harvesting perovskite (an organic-inorganic hybrid) materials have recently eclipsed the 20 percent efficiency mark,…
Sometimes, distance can lend a new perspective to a problem. For Japanese researchers studying protein crystal growth, that distance was 250 miles up — the…
U.S. government nanotechnology researchers have demonstrated a new window to view what are now mostly clandestine operations occurring in soggy, inhospitable…
Eggshells are both marvels and afterthoughts. Placed on end, they are as strong as the arches supporting ancient Roman aqueducts. Yet they readily crack in the…
“This result was a fantastic collaboration between theory and experiment,” explained Physics Professor Brian DeMarco, whose group led the experimental phase of…
