In an advance they consider a breakthrough in computational chemistry research, chemical engineers have developed model of how catalytic reactions work at the atomic scale.
Researchers have discovered how catalysts and many other nanoplatelets can be produced in an environmentally friendly way from readily available materials and in sufficient quantities.
Researchers have developed a new technique that can quickly identify the exact electrochemical mechanisms taking place in batteries and supercapacitors of various compositions - a breakthrough that could speed the design of higher performing energy storage devices.
Nanocages are tiny artificial containers that can be used to deliver therapeutics to a target destination in the body. Now, researchers have built a super-sized nanocage that could be used to deliver larger drug cargoes.
Scientists used advanced simulations to investigate the magnetization process in several 2D and 3D materials. Their calculations show that, in structures with heavy atoms, the fast electron dynamics initiated by the laser pulses can be converted to attosecond magnetism.
Adding to the current library of 2D ferroelectric materials, physicists have discovered a new single-element material, known as 2D black phosphorus-like bismuth, that demonstrates ferroelectric properties. This new material changes the conventional understanding of ferroelectric materials, which are commonly made up of compounds with opposing charges to allow the formation of an electric field.
