“Rice process customizes one-, two- or three-element doping for applications. Flashing graphene into existence from waste was merely a good start. Now Rice University researchers are customizing it. The Rice lab of chemist James Tour has modified its flash Joule …
“Lay some graphene down on a wavy surface, and you’ll get a guide to one possible future of two-dimensional electronics. Rice University scientists put forth the idea that growing atom-thick graphene on a gently textured surface creates peaks and …
“Rice engineers show spinning magnetic particles surprisingly follow thermodynamic laws Small spheres suspended in a liquid move enough like molecules that the physics for one can be used to mimic the physics of the other. That’s why the discovery …
“Phonons are collective atomic vibrations, or quasiparticles, that act as the main heat carriers in a crystal lattice. Under certain circumstances, their properties can be modified by electric fields or light. But until now, nobody noticed they can respond to …
“Rare earth elements are hard to get and hard to recycle, but a flash of intuition led Rice University scientists toward a possible solution. The Rice lab of chemist James Tour reports it has successfully extracted valuable rare earth elements …
“Rice University scientists are using machine-learning techniques to streamline the process of synthesizing graphene from waste through flash Joule heating. The process discovered two years ago by the Rice lab of chemist James Tour has expanded beyond making graphene from …
“Rice team’s simulations show iron catalyzes corrosion in ‘inert’ carbon dioxide Iron that rusts in water theoretically shouldn’t corrode in contact with an “inert” supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide. But it does. The reason has eluded materials scientists …
“Brothers in Rice lab find audio from graphene production contains valuable data It may be true that seeing is believing, but sometimes hearing can be better. Case in point: Two brothers in a Rice University laboratory heard something unusual while …
“Pressure bumps’ in sun’s protoplanetary disk explain many solar system features Before the solar system had planets, the sun had rings — bands of dust and gas similar to Saturn’s rings — that likely played a role in Earth’s …
“A Rice University-led study is forcing physicists to rethink superconductivity in uranium ditelluride, an A-list material in the worldwide race to create fault-tolerant quantum computers. Uranium ditelluride crystals are believed to host a rare “ spin-triplet” form of superconductivity , but puzzling …
