A team led by Skoltech professor Artem R. Oganov studied the structure and properties of ternary hydrides of lanthanum and yttrium and showed that alloying is an effective strategy for stabilizing otherwise unstable phases YH10 and LaH6, expected to be high-temperature superconductors.
A study published in Science Advances reports on the unexpected observation of thermal waves in germanium, a semiconductor material, for the first time.
For several years, scientists have focused on designing technologies to combat the crisis of imminent climate change. All these researchers share a common goal — that is, identifying sustainable energy sources that can substitute environmentally toxic fossil fuels.
A RMIT-led international collaboration published this week has achieved record-high electron doping in a layered ferromagnet, causing magnetic phase transition with significant promise for future electronics
A new technology has been developed by researchers from the National University of Science and Technology “MISIS” (NUST MISIS) for creating a special heat-resistant aluminum alloy with enhanced durability.
A condenser has been developed by scientists at ETH Zurich for countries facing water shortages. This is considered to be the first zero-energy solution for harvesting water from the air across the 24-hour everyday cycle.
Spiders can walk on different types of surfaces, like walking straight up and even upside-down across, but how precisely they do this is not known.
If you've ever tried to lift a pizza slice covered in hot, melted cheese, you've no doubt encountered the long, cheesy strings that bridge one pizza slice from the next. Keep lifting the pizza slice and these cheese bridges eventually break, covering the plate, table (or even your lap) in long, thin strands of cheese. While this is just a minor inconvenience with pizza, it is a longstanding problem in industry, where liquids with similar properties to melted cheese - dubbed viscoelastic fluids - need to be cleanly and speedily dispensed.
As a new member of photovoltaic family, antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) has the satisfactory bandgap of 1.7eV, benefiting the fabrication of the top absorber layer of tandem solar cells. Due to special quasi-one-dimensional structure, it shows advantages of less dangling bonds.
Superconductors are something like a miracle in the modern world. Their unique property of zero resistance can revolutionize power transmission and transport (e.g., Maglev train). However, most of the conventional superconductors require cooling down to extremely low temperatures that can only be achieved with liquid helium, a rather expensive coolant.
