Researchers design self-assembling nanosheets that mimic the surface of cells.
Study reveals surprising, bad chemical reactivity in battery components previously considered compatible.
Window material repeatedly switches from being see-through to blocking the heat and converting sunlight into electricity.
First demonstration of high-pressure metastability mapping with ultrafast X-ray diffraction shows objects aren’t as large as previously thought.
Exotic material exhibits an optical response in enormous disproportion to the stimulus—larger than in any known crystal.
Understanding assembly principles may inspire new approaches for making valuable products.
Novel spin-polarized surface states may guide the search for materials that host Majorana fermions, unusual particles that act as their own antimatter, and could revolutionize quantum computers.
Researchers create materials with controllable electrical and magnetic properties, even at room temperature.
Rough surfaces provide additional sites for energy-generating reactions in fuel cells.
New state of matter holds promise for ultracompact data storage and processing.
Scientists found that removing lines of atoms in thin electronic materials creates “veins” that could benefit solar panels and more.
