Simulations of defects inside copper point the way to making stronger metals. Results show that there are many different deformation mechanisms occurring in nano-structured materials like nanotwinned ...
Two-dimensional (2D) materials show great promise for photocatalysis, a key technology for sustainable energy solutions like water splitting. However, optimizing their performance requires precise ...
Researchers from the Institute of Physics in Zagreb have shown that depositing a thin layer of organic molecules on ...
Advancements in nanotechnology fabrication and characterization tools have facilitated a number of developments in the creation of new two-dimensional (2D) materials and gaining and understanding of ...
Photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) offers nanoscale defect characterization in semiconductors, combining chemical ...
Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...
Humans began creating alloys around 5,000 years ago by combining copper and tin to produce bronze. Since then, alloy design has advanced dramatically, says Moneesh Upmanyu, professor of mechanical and ...
