To see what is driving the exotic behavior in some atomically thin – or 2-D – materials, and find out what happens when they are stacked like Lego bricks in…
A team of experimental and computational scientists led by Carnegie's Tim Strobel and Venkata Bhadram have synthesized a long sought-after form of titanium…
Despite the progress in the field of green LEDs and lasers, the researchers could not overcome the limit of 30% of indium content in the films. The reason for…
An international team consisting of Russian and German scientists has made a breakthrough in the creation of seemingly impossible materials. They have managed…
Only a few basic geometric shapes lend themselves to covering a surface without overlaps or gaps using uniformly shaped tiles: triangles, rectangles and…
Although the method of anion resin exchange precipitation has been known since 1960s-1970s, it was only used to synthesize the hydroxides of aluminum, chrome…
Just as the ability of one nerve cell to signal another depends on how often the cells have communicated in the recent past, the resistance of a memristor…
Northwestern University researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind technique for creating entirely new classes of optical materials and devices that could…
Materials scientists, led by a team at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, designed a tiny tube that rolls up and zips closed.
Nature has produced exquisite composite materials–wood, bone, teeth, and shells, for example–that combine light weight and density with desirable mechanical…
A little hBN in ceramics could give them outstanding properties, according to a Rice University scientist.
The research, to be published in Science, shows how well scientists can predict the properties and functionality of materials, allowing us to explore their…
The terms “handmade” and “high tech” are not commonly found in the same sentence, but they both apply to a Rice University method to quickly produce fibers…
Many cosmetic products such as body peelings or deodorants contain tiny plastic particles, so-called microplastics, for example made of polyethylene (PE) and…
With the help of electronic microcopy, scientists have managed to track defects in the surface of two-dimensional photonic crystals, but there was a problem…
Multiferroic materials show magnetically driven ferroelectricity. They are attracting increasing attention because of their fascinating properties such as…
