More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic ...
A team of researchers has identified atomic distortions that may be linked with high-temperature superconductivity in a ...

Chaos as a matter of direction: Researchers build layered material where order and disorder coexist
Some materials behave unexpectedly. They crack differently than expected, or react in ways that are hard to explain. The answer often lies in their atomic structure. Is it neatly arranged, as in a ...
Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is an important technique for this, as it reveals detailed insights ...
A rare mineral from a 1724 meteorite defies the rules of heat flow, acting like both a crystal and a glass. Thanks to AI and quantum physics, researchers uncovered its bizarre ability to maintain ...
Depth profiling techniques constitute a fundamental analytical approach in material science, enabling researchers to characterise the composition, structure and interfacial properties of complex ...
Single crystal X-ray diffraction image of blue-emitting supramolecular ink (18C6@K)2HfBr6) reveals the atomic structure of a 1-2 nanometer unit cell. These tiny molecular “building block” structures ...
