New study suggests old rules on how ice breaks may not always hold up. Researchers at Aalto University have found strong evidence that warm ice…
How materials behave depends on the interactions between countless atoms. You could see this as a giant group chat in which atoms are continuously exchanging…
Odd Angles Make for Strong Spin-Spin Coupling Sometimes things are a little out of whack, and it turns out to be exactly what you need….
As devices continue to be built on an increasingly small scale, scientists are looking toward developing ways to engineer materials at the atomic level. In…
Advanced materials with more novel properties are almost always developed by adding more elements to the list of ingredients. But quantum research suggests some simpler…
A research team from TU Wien together with US research institutes came across a surprising form of ‘quantum criticality’; this could lead to a design…
Scientists Take a Bite Out of Solar Efficiency Challenge With Sandwich Model The design of next-generation solar panels can now be improved thanks to a…
Because individual atoms or molecules are 100 to 1000 times smaller than the wavelength of visible light, it is notoriously difficult to collect information about…
For many engineers and scientists, nature is the world’s greatest muse. They seek to better understand natural processes that have evolved over millions of years,…
Atomically thin materials are a promising alternative to silicon-based transistors; now researchers can connect them more efficiently to other chip elements. Moore’s Law, the famous…
Researchers have used a technique similar to MRI to follow the movement of individual atoms in real time as they cluster together to form two-dimensional…
Inspired by nature, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), along with collaborators from Washington State University, created a novel material capable of capturing light…
New Evidence for Electron’s Dual Nature Found in a Quantum Spin Liquid Results from a Princeton-led experiment support a controversial theory that the electron is…
Soldiers, athletes, and motorists could lead safer lives thanks to a new process that could lead to more efficient and re-useable protection from shock and…
Hydrogels merge two physical forms of the same seaweed material for strength, flexibility. 3D-printable gels with improved and highly controlled properties can be created by…
A Streamlined Approach to Determining Thermal Properties of Crystalline Solids and Alloys MIT research team finds machine learning techniques offer big advantages over standard experimental…
Known as “pair-density waves,” it may be key to understanding how superconductivity can exist at relatively high temperatures. Unconventional superconductors contain a number of exotic…
