Researchers have invented a technology that can prevent lithium batteries from heating and failing. • Email to a friend • Engineers discover the possibility of using pencils to draw bioelectronics on human skin. • Email to a friend • A novel mechanism for electron optics in two-dimensional solid-state systems opens up a route to engineering quantum-optical phenomena in a variety of materials. • Email to a friend • A customizable smart window harnesses and manipulates solar power to save energy and cut costs. • Email to a friend • MOFs and COFs are porous materials with a broad range of applications, such as gas storage, CO2 capture or drug delivery. Researchers have demonstrated that spray-drying is a suitable method for producing this kind of materials. • Email to a friend • Using techniques similar to those they employed to develop laser-induced graphene, scientists turned adhesive tape into a silicon oxide film that replaces troublesome anodes in lithium metal batteries. • Email to a friend • For the very first time, scientists have successfully imitated the functioning of brain neurons using semiconductor materials. • Email to a friend • This phenomenon has a number of applications in magnetic sensors and magnetic reading heads, which, however, have not been reported in van der Waals heterostructures before. • Email to a friend • Scientists have confirmed a long-standing theoretical prediction for high-temperature superconductors. Different states of matter make superconductivity possible. One of those theorized states of matter is called a pair density wave. The scientists confirmed pair density waves using advanced microscopic imaging techniques. • Email to a friend • Vibrations of atoms in a crystal of the semiconductor gallium arsenide are impulsively shifted to a higher frequency by an optically excited electric current. The related change in the spatial distribution of charge between gallium and arsenic atoms acts back on their motions via electric interactions. • Email to a friend • Researchers have discovered the highly selective separation of CO2 over nitrogen in composite membranes with ultrathin layers with selectivity governed by the molecularly thin interface formed between polymers. • Email to a friend • |
