First prototypes of aluminum-ion batteries charge quickly and have the potential for long lifetimes, low cost, and safe operation.
Surprising order found in bundles of protein filaments that move chaotically and form liquid crystals that could led to novel self-healing.
Near the onset of superconductivity, continuous exchange of electrons occurs between distinct, liquid-like magnetic phases in an iron-based superconductor.
Penetrating x-rays can image defects and phase changes during battery charging and discharging.
Computer-simulated atomic motion answers real-world questions like “How do things break?”
Oppositely charged polymer chains can be “right-handed,” “left-handed,” or have no “handedness” at all, which controls whether a solid or liquid forms.
Researchers use surface-sensitive signals to atomically resolve the structure of a rough surface.
A family of single-phase materials was discovered with coexisting magnetic and electrical properties having potential for electronic applications.
New approach for connecting light-harvesting proteins enhances the current produced by a factor of four.
Discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass, garners the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Researchers harvest long-lived isotopes that are difficult or impossible to acquire otherwise.
First mixed matter/anti-matter probe aims to solve decade-old proton puzzle.
