I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#Stabilizing monolayer nitrides with silicon” Chemical vapor deposition growth of MoSi2N4. (A) Schematic of two CVD growth processes, showing that layered MoSi2N4 is formed by simply adding Si during the growth of nonlayered 2D Mo2N. (B) Optical images of MoSi2N4 grown by CVD for 30 min, 2 hours, and 3.5 hours, illustrating the formation process…
“#Researchers discover new tool to construct novel metal-based magnetic materials” Artistic presentation of the synthesized compounds illustrating a pancake bond between organic radicals. Credit: Reproduced from Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers., 2020, 7, 2592-2601 with permission from The Royal Society of Chemistry. A Canadian-Finnish collaboration has led to the discovery of a novel magnetic compound in which…
“#New advance in superconductors with ‘twist’ in rhombohedral graphite” Electronic phase separation in multilayer rhombohedral graphite. Credit: The University of Manchester An international research team led by The University of Manchester has revealed a nanomaterial that mirrors the “magic angle” effect originally found in a complex man-made structure known as twisted bilayer graphene—a key area…
“#Quantum materials quest could benefit from graphene that buckles” Simulated mountain and valley landscape created by buckling in graphene. The bright linked dots are electrons that have slowed down and interact strongly. Credit: Yuhang Jiang Graphene, an extremely thin two-dimensional layer of the graphite used in pencils, buckles when cooled while attached to a flat…
“#Enhanced liquid repellence through flexible microstructures” Mushroom-spring and mushroom-pillar surfaces. (A and B) Design and fabrication of mushroom-spring flexible surfaces S1, S2, and S3, as well as a mushroom-pillar rigid reference P. (C and D) Design and fabrication of mushroom-spring flexible surfaces SS1, SS2, and SS3, as well as a mushroom-pillar rigid reference PS with…
“#Physicists accelerate the hunt for revolutionary artificial atomic materials” This visualisation shows layers of graphene used for membranes. Credit: University of Manchester Scientists at the University of Bath have taken an important step towards understanding the interaction between layers of atomically thin materials arranged in stacks. They hope their research will speed up the discovery…
“#Researchers show how to make non-magnetic materials magnetic” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A complex process can modify non-magnetic oxide materials in such a way to make them magnetic. The basis for this new phenomenon is controlled layer-by-layer growth of each material. An international research team with researchers from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) reported on…
“#Nanostructures modeled on moth eyes effective for anti-icing” Ice accumulation on a bare coated, nanostructure (NS) and nanostructure covered in paraffin (NSP) samples after a freezing test. Credit: Nguyen Ba Duc Researchers have been working for decades on improving the anti-icing performance of functional surfaces. Ice accumulation on aircraft wings, for instance, can reduce lifting…
“#Researchers develop technique for processing surfaces on an atomic scale” A highly charged Ion hitting a material consisting of several layers. Credit: TU Wien Nobody can shoot a bullet through a banana in such a way that the skin is perforated but the banana remains intact. However, on the level of individual atomic layers, researchers…
“#Way, shape and form: Synthesis conditions define the nanostructure of manganese dioxide” Acceleration of the chemical reaction by β-MnO2 catalyst in the nanospace of the particles. Credit: Keiko Kamata, Tokyo Institute of Technology Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology explore a novel and simplistic method to synthesize manganese dioxide with a specific crystalline structure called…
