In an international experiment, researchers observed Jahn–Teller polarons—quasiparticles that could play an important role in future ultrafast spintronic devices. These polarons emerged within the ...
Gold’s pristine shine may depend on a hidden atomic rearrangement that makes oxygen reactions far harder, helping explain its ...
Researchers at Tohoku University have uncovered the long-standing mystery behind the synthesis of Janus two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, paving the way for more precise manufacturing of materials ...
Could atomically precise nanoclusters mimic the chemistry of particular atoms without their toxic or cost drawbacks? James ...
Batteries are undergoing rapid advances. For example, modern zinc-air batteries have the remarkable ability to use oxygen as energy—but that oxygen isn't stored in the battery itself. Zinc-air ...
As the demand for next-generation energy storage systems with higher safety and energy density continues to escalate, all-solid-state lithium batteries (ASSLBs) have emerged as a particularly ...
Explosively formed projectile(EFP) is a kind of shaped charge structure which exhibits high penetration ability in the field of weapon engineering [Yu et al.,1999; Weickert et al.,1993]. A complete ...
Greeley et al. 8 making use of density functional theory (DFT), studied the ORR activity and stability of Pt 3 M (M = transition metals) alloys. The computational results showed that Pt alloyed with ...
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the random telegraph noise (RTN) in hafnium-oxide resistive random access memories in high resistive state (HRS). The current fluctuations are analyzed by ...
Rocks fractured by earthquakes could unlock a wide menu of chemical energy sources for microbes living deep underground – and similar processes could potentially support microbes within other planets.
This schematic illustrates how regulating electron spin states through six key strategies—including defect engineering, valence modulation, and magnetic field application—can optimize catalytic ...
