A small shift in how metal atoms are arranged can change how electricity moves through them, pointing to new ways to build ...

Materials called relaxor ferroelectrics have been used for decades in technologies like ultrasounds, microphones, and sonar ...

Material science research into 2D materials has accelerated since the discovery of graphene in 2004. Graphene is a 2D sheet of carbon atoms, arranged in a way that each carbon atom is bonded to three ...

Researchers have found a way to "redesign" metals by stabilising polarisation at the atomic level— previously impossible for ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Chemical reactions power everything from industrial manufacturing to clean energy production, but their efficiency depends critically on catalysts - materials that speed up ...

University of Minnesota researchers have discovered a way to precisely control a metal’s electronic properties by stabilizing polarization at its atomic interfaces. By adjusting a ruthenium dioxide ...

A research team led by Professor Jungwon Park from the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Seoul National University College of Engineering has developed a novel technique for ...

Scientists have long been keen to develop atomically thin 2D metals, thereby expanding the 2D material family beyond vdW layered structures. These ultrathin 2D metals would also enable the exploration ...
