Electrons can display interference effects like waves in the ocean, but this happens on extremely fast time scales. In this study, scientists observed the quant

Platinum (Pt) can act as a catalyst to make reactive oxygen ions for many applications. In this research, scientists used a method called electrochemical cycling to modify the surface of Nickel (Ni)/Pt nanoparticles.

A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Penn State University is exploring novel materials that have potential to make microelectronics more energy efficient. Their recent work published in Science explores recently discovered wurtzite ferroelectrics, which are mainly composed of materials that are already incorporated in semiconductor technology for integrated circuits. These materials allow for the integration of new power-efficient devices for applications such as non-volati...

Scientists have developed a new way to control the electronic properties of materials.

Magnetic materials are employed by businesses in a variety of devices, including motors, sensors, cell phones, and data storage. As technology advances to smaller and smaller scales, researchers are constantly hunting for new magnetic particles.

Industry uses magnetic materials in applications ranging from data storage and cell phones to motors and sensors. Researchers are always looking for new magnetic particles as the technology moves to smaller and smaller scales. In this study, researchers first theoretically predicted, designed, and then synthesized a new, extremely small, thermally stable magnetic nanoparticle.

The interface between gases and liquids is found throughout nature. It is also important to many industrial processes. To improve understanding of the gas-liquid interface, researchers have developed an apparatus to study reactions between gas molecules and highly volatile liquids with new levels of detail. It uses a molecular beam that is directed onto a flat liquid surface.

A Rice University-led study is forcing physicists to rethink superconductivity in uranium ditelluride, an A-list material in the worldwide race to create
