For decades, scientists have been probing the potential of two-dimensional materials to transform our world. 2D materials are only a single layer of atoms thick. Within them, subatomic particles like electrons can only move in two dimensions.
Scientists for the first time have witnessed pieces of metal crack, then fuse back together without any human intervention, overturning fundamental scientific theories in the process.
In an attempt to identify new 2D materials, a group of researchers from Ames National Laboratory found the structure of boron monoxide. In the 1940s, this compound was first discovered and maintained study interest across the years.
Researchers based at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have made a breakthrough in redox flow battery technology using a simple sugar additive that could address key concerns while enhancing grid energy resilience.
New research sheds light on the mechanism behind how a special material changes from an electrically conducting metal to an electric insulator. The researchers studied lanthanum strontium nickel oxide (La1.67Sr0.33NiO4) derived from a quantum material La2NiO4.
Lithium is turning out to be the new gold, thanks to its increasing applications of lithium-ion batteries in computers, electric cars, and portable devices influencing the price and impacting the supply of the comparatively rare metal.
A team from Ames National Laboratory conducted an in-depth investigation of the magnetism of TbMn6Sn6, a Kagome layered topological magnet. They were surprised to find that the magnetic spin reorientation in TbMn6Sn6 occurs by generating increasing numbers of magnetically isotropic ions as the temperature increases.
Investigators from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory revealed that when the compound tin selenide heats up, atomic-level structural changes occur, allowing it to conduct electricity but not heat.
Phase change memory is a type of nonvolatile memory that harnesses a phase change material's (PCM) ability to shift from an amorphous state, i.e., where atoms are disorganized, to a crystalline state, i.e., where atoms are tightly packed close together.
The arrangement of electrons in matter, known as the electronic structure, plays a crucial role in fundamental but also applied research such as drug design and energy storage. However, the lack of a simulation technique that offers both high fidelity and scalability across different time and length scales has long been a roadblock for the progress of these technologies.
