Controlling the arrangement of atomic vacancies offers a new way to adjust electronic, magnetic, thermal, and hydrogen ...

Controlling magnetism in a device is not easy; unusually large magnetic fields or lots of electricity are needed, which are ...

Scientists at IMDEA Nanociencia are working on the development of materials whose properties can change as easily as we flip ...

Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a ...

A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can ...

The thermoelectric effects arise because charge carriers in metals and semiconductors are free to move much like gas molecules, while carrying charge as well as heat. When a temperature gradient ...

This course builds a framework for first year graduate (or equivalent) students to succeed in the core materials science and engineering curriculum by establishing a real space and k-space description ...

Complex materials such as organic compound semiconductors or the microporous metal-organic frameworks known as MOFs are already being used for numerous applications such as OLED displays, solar cells, ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in transforming light into a strange state of matter: the supersolid. This quantum material combines the properties of a crystalline solid and a fluid ...
