“High-performance computing helps to survey optical qualities of atom-thick materials for optoelectronics. The ability of metallic or semiconducting materials to absorb, reflect and act upon light is of primary importance to scientists developing optoelectronics – electronic devices that interact with light …
“Rice engineers show how water molecules square up in nanotubes Here’s one way to fit a square peg into a round hole. First, according to Rice University engineers, get a nanotube hole. Then insert water. If the nanotube is …
“Physicists show first proof of Dicke cooperativity in a matter-matter system After their recent pioneering experiments to couple light and matter to an extreme degree, Rice University scientists decided to look for a similar effect in matter alone. They didn …
“Rice theorists find mechanism behind nearly pure nanotubes from the unusualcatalyst Growing a batch of carbon nanotubes that are all the same may not be as simple as researchers had hoped, according to Rice University scientists. Rice materials theorist Boris …
“Rice lab creates conductive 3D carbon blocks that can be shaped for applications Rice University scientists have developed a simple way to produce conductive, three-dimensional objects made of graphene foam. The squishy solids look and feel something like a child …
“Rice University, Los Alamos lead project to study excitons important to next-generation electronics Scientists led by Rice University and Los Alamos National Laboratory have discovered electronic properties in quantum-scale devices that are likely to impact the growing field of low-cost …
“Rice University researchers enhance boron nitride nanotubes for next-gen composites Boron nitride nanotubes are primed to become effective building blocks for next-generation composite and polymer materials based on a new discovery at Rice University – and a previous one. Scientists at …
“‘Orbital-selective pairing’ theory applied to first ‘heavy fermion’ superconductor A 2017 theory proposed by Rice University physicists to explain the contradictory behavior of an iron-based high-temperature superconductor is helping solve a puzzle in a different type of unconventional superconductor, the …
“Rice scientists show how salt lowers reaction temperatures to make novel materials A dash of salt can simplify the creation of two-dimensional materials, and thanks to Rice University scientists, the reason is becoming clear. Boris Yakobson, a Rice professor of …
“A team led by Rice University scientists used a unique combination of techniques to observe, for the first time, a condensed matter phenomenon about which others have only speculated. The research could aid in the development of quantum computers. The …
