Superconductivity is a phenomenon where an electric circuit loses its resistance and becomes extremely efficient under certain conditions.
Northwestern University researchers have developed a new computational approach to accelerate the design of materials exhibiting metal-insulator transitions, a rare class of electronic materials that have shown potential to jumpstart future design and delivery of faster microelectronics and quantum information systems -- foundational technologies behind Internet of Things devices and large-scale data centers that power how humans work and interact with others.
Led by the Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal (UMR 5031, CNRS-University of Bordeaux), an international team of scientists has found a unique way to design magnets with exceptional physical properties.
Blue phosphorus is an atomically thin synthetic semiconductor that turns metallic once it is transformed into a double layer.
A new project involving Swansea University researchers and Tata Steel will investigate the potential for recovering waste heat from industry so it can be re-used.
Scientists have discovered a spongy form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a material found in limestone, chalk, marble, and the shells of mussels and other shellfish. While most forms of calcium carbonate are hard minerals, this new form is soft and absorbent. The researchers, reporting November 5 in the journal Matter, made the discovery while exploring new uses for leftover mussel shells.
Scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a liquid window panel that can simultaneously block the sun to regulate solar transmission, while trapping thermal heat that can be released through the day and night, helping to reduce energy consumption in buildings.
Scientists at Swansea University have developed a very sensitive method to detect the tiny signatures of so called 'charge traps' in organic semiconductors.
Some molecules tend to bind tightly to the surface of the ice, thus forming a curved interface that inhibits further growth of the ice crystal.
Human skin bruises when the tissue and muscle in the area suffer trauma or become damaged due to an application of blunt force. However, when an object suffers an impact that is expected to damage, it is necessary to examine every inch of the surface of the material to understand the extent of the damaged.
