Scientists have demonstrated how superatoms of a desired valency, stability, and volume can be synthesized in a solution medium by altering the number of atoms in a cluster structure. This is an important step in realizing the practical application of superatom clusters as substitutes for elements in chemical reactions.
Researchers have developed new materials for improved single-atom catalysis and future electronics.
Novel liquid-based method for safe synthesis of carbon-based materials containing ultrafine metallic atoms.
Novel composite combining the high energy storage capacity of silicon and the elastic property of carbon.
Researchers have demonstrated a new method for testing microscopic aeronautical materials at ultra-high temperatures. By combining electron microscopy and laser heating, scientists can evaluate these materials much more quickly and inexpensively than with traditional testing.
