“Researchers team up to improve chemicals used in a wide range of industrial processes. Chemists spend a great deal of time and energy trying to get chemical reactions to begin or to speed up — but sometimes it can be just …
“Scientists find surprising way to affect information storage properties in metal alloy. Sometimes scientific discoveries can be found along well-trodden paths. That proved the case for a cobalt-iron alloy material commonly found in hard disk drives. As reported in a …
News Ultrathin and ultrafast: scientists pioneer new technique for two-dimensional material analysis
“Discovery allows scientists to look at how 2D materials move with ultrafast precision. Using a never-before-seen technique, scientists have found a new way to use some of the world’s most powerful X-rays to uncover how atoms move in a …
“Quantum simulation gives a sneak peek into the possibilities of time reversal. We all mark days with clocks and calendars, but perhaps no timepiece is more immediate than a mirror. The changes we notice over the years vividly illustrate science …
“With supercomputers, scientists find promising new materials for solar cells. Finding the best light-harvesting chemicals for use in solar cells can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Over the years, researchers have developed and tested thousands of …
“Interdisciplinary research team achieves fundamental quark breakthrough. Scientists widely accept the existence of quarks, the fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons. But information about them is still elusive, since their interaction is so strong that their direct detection …
“A closer look reveals how speedy charging may hamper battery performance. While gas tanks can be filled in a matter of minutes, charging the battery of an electric car takes much longer. To level the playing field and make electric …
“The upgrade of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory will make it between 100 and 1,000 times brighter than it is today. “That factor is such a big change, it’s …
“A crucial step has been achieved in understanding quantum optical behavior of semiconductor nanomaterials. Scientists have moved quantum optic networks a step closer to reality. The ability to precisely control the interactions of light and matter at the nanoscale could …
“Researchers have uncovered a new material that can produce both magnetism and superconductivity. In the physical world, one of the most incontrovertible truths is that magnetism and superconductivity are usually incompatible. Like two battalions of soldiers fighting over the same …
