Experiments probing quasiparticles in semiconductor microcavities offer unprecedented insights into the dynamics of quantum fluids of light.

Electron configurations and conductivity are significant descriptors/characteristics for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which can be modulated with heteroatom doping. Given that metal substitution usually reduces the number of active sites of spinel electrocatalysts, the effect of anion doping on the electronic structure has been investigated by using ZnCo2O4 (ZCO) as a demonstration. Compared with Co3+-dominated ZCO, the substitution of oxygen with less electronegative sulfur raises the p...

The 2023 International Day of Women and Girls in Science is a widely celebrated UN World Day spotlighting the drive for gender equity in science. As a global, open-access scientific platform, AZoM is celebrating this world day with a series of features speaking with women who are excelling in their field of materials science and engineering.

In this interview, AZoM had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Giulia Galli, a professor at the Univeristy of Chicago and senior scientist at the Argonne National Laboratory, about her impressive career in science.

Promising spin qubits for quantum technologies, such as defects in silicon carbide, are simulated on a quantum computer, revealing and mitigating the effect of hardware noise.

Heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials with selective compositions play an important role in creating novel functionalities. Effective interface coupling between 2D ferromagnet and electronic materials would enable the generation of exotic physical phenomena caused by intrinsic symmetry breaking and proximity effect at interfaces. Here, epitaxial growth of bilayer Bi(110) on 2D ferromagnetic Fe3GeTe2 (FGT) with large magnetic anisotropy has been reported. Bilayer Bi(110) isla...

In a study published in Physical Review Materials, the combination of radiofrequency (RF) magnetron sputtering and an RF sulfur plasma source was used to fabricate n-type SnS thin films.
