For the first time, a research group has demonstrated the single phase nanoscale multi-principal element intermetallics with up to 8 different metals - completely devoid of particle growth, or phase separation - via a novel multi-element disorder-to-order strategy.
Researchers use a nanostructure fabrication strategy to produce nanowires of Zn3P2 with reduced elastic strains, which results in much less defects at the interface with the substrate.
A new study reveals the thermal transport properties of ultrathin crystals of molybdenum diselenide, a two-dimensional material of the transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) family. Outperforming silicon, TMD materials prove to be outstanding candidates for electronic and optoelectronic applications, such as flexible and wearable devices.
Scientists develop organic microparticles that can steer through biological fluids and dissolved blood in unprecedented ways. Even in very salty liquids, the microswimmers can be propelled forward at high speed by visible light, either individually or as a swarm.
