To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

A new review in Nanoenergy Advances argues that graphene-family materials could help tackle one of artificial intelligence’s most pressing problems: energy use. Study: Graphene-Based Memristive and ...

The first time that University of Oxford astronomer Lyla Jung saw the cosmic configuration on her monitor, she almost didn’t believe it was real. But it was—and Jung and her colleagues went on to ...

Graphene encapsulation enables atomic resolution imaging of highly reactive 2D diiodides, preserving clean interfaces and extending sample stability from seconds to months. (Nanowerk News) ...

Electronics keep shrinking, but silicon is starting to run into physical limits. To go smaller, researchers are turning to something far tinier than any transistor on a chip: single molecules that act ...

Duplicates of crystal structures are flooding databases, implicating repositories hosting organic, inorganic, and computer-generated crystals. The issue raises questions about curation practices at ...

Stacks of graphene, carefully twisted, gain a superpower: They become superconductors. Now scientists have new evidence that this “magic-angle” graphene is a member of a truly strange class of ...

Water rolls on h-BN but encounters friction on graphene. Atomic structure and substrate shape nanoscale movement, guiding advances in coatings and anti-icing surfaces. Researchers found that this ...

A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...
