Researchers have discovered a new electronic property at the frontier between the thermal and quantum sciences in a specially engineered metal alloy - and in the process identified a promising material for future devices that could turn heat on and off with the application of a magnetic 'switch'.
Understanding how magnetic correlations change over very short timescales could be harnessed to control magnetism for applications including data storage and superconductivity.
In a joint experimental and theoretical effort, researchers developed a novel spectroscopic technique for the study of charge carrier dynamics in lead halide perovskites.
Researchers show that room-temperature catalytic oxidation is an efficient approach to converting formaldehyde (HCHO) into harmless CO2 by using reactive oxygen species on the surface of transition-metal nanocatalysts.
Researchers have synthesized 3D porous honeycomb-like CoN-Ni3N/N-C nanosheets and vanadium nitride nanobelt arrays via in-situ growth method, respectively, and constructed a high-energy-density flexible supercapacitor device.
Graphene can be used for ultra-high density hard disk drives (HDD), with up to a tenfold jump compared to current technologies, researchers have shown.
The technique, termed extracellular vesicle monitoring of small-molecule chemical occupancy and protein expression (ExoSCOPE), is the first of its kind in the world. It takes advantage of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by cancer cells and circulating in blood as a reflective indicator of drug effectiveness in solid tumors.
The technology can be used for the development of new generation microchips that can transfer information from computers to a fiber optic network at a greater speed.
Engineers have discovered a new way of generating electricity using tiny carbon particles that can create a current simply by interacting with liquid surrounding them.
Relying on the quantum confinement effect, the strong light-matter interaction in low-dimensional materials enables them to exhibit excellent photodetection. The unique out-of-plane van der Waals force in low-dimensional layered materials makes them free from the surface dangling bonds compared to traditional bulk materials, which reduces the dark current of the devices by eliminating surface recombination. These unique advantages make low-dimensional materials have the potential to ...
Wider clean chemistry applications of the extraordinary Vortex Fluidic Device are likely in the wake of new research that has been published outlining the seemingly endless possible uses.
